The match fixings allegations that have followed Karatsev for some time are not going to go away when he loses 6-1 6-3 to Benjamin Bonzi. To be fair, Bonzi played very well today, but that was not a good performance from the Russian.

I guess Tsitsipas didn't want to lose in consecutive weeks to Felix as he just lost to Roman Safiullin 6-4 6-4. Felix is up next taking on Ilya Ivashka.

I realize that they have to honour the endorsements they sign, but I'm sure most players have the right to nix a kit if they don't want to wear it.
/at a minimum, carry an extra pair of Adidas shorts lol

Felix drops the first two games, then wins six of the next seven to take the opening set 6-3
Edit: MTO for Felix before the start of set 2, doesn't look too serious though, just getting an ankle re-taped.

If Felix can win the title this week, he'll usurp Casper Ruud in the rankings as Ruud had to withdraw in Rio with an abdominal injury.

Felix and Roman have to wait a little while longer as Bonzi has forced a 3rd set against Rublev. The band in Marseille is really pumping up the crowd (as well as Bonzi).

Talk about ageing poorly, this article was written before the 2010 US Open and talks about how Nadal will never win the US Open. Just goes to show you, never say never, I think it's safe to say Nadal has managed to become a top 5 hard court player of all time.

How is Roman Safiullin's ranking in the mid 150's? He's taking it to Felix in this opening set.
Edit: Felix breaks to get back on serve. That was a fine return game to stop a streak of four straight games for the Russian.

Felix comes back from 4-1 down in the opening set tie-break to win the tie-break 7-4. Clutch tennis when needed most.

Felix just challenged a point against him (Safiullin hit a passing shot that was called out, but Felix challenged as he thought the ball was in and indeed it was). Great sportsmanship from FAA!

I'm watching it via my tennistv subscription. I don't think it is on any of the TSN channels.
Edit: Looks like it is on one of the tsn.ca streams NF
