AHEM.

Some of you have chosen Charlie. Others of us prefer...

In the post-match interview today, the interviewer made sure to call him Carlitos. I'm sticking with Charlie, but I have no objection to Chuck Jail lol

Charlie sounds weird to me, he just doesn't look like one. I'm going to go ahead and shorten Chuck Jail to CJ, just to make things even more confusing.

Edit: Nalbandian did this very feat back in Madrid in 2007, but the tourney wasn't played on clay that year.

Barring a Rublev collapse, it looks like Felix vs. Fraud will be at least another hour of waiting for tennis fans.

Greek Yogurt is through to the semi-finals. Bweh had his chances to get back on serve after getting broken to love, but couldn't extend the match.

No, it was indoor hard court that year. Blue clay was 2012.

Felix needed to take advantage of that opening 2nd set service game especially when DF Zverev shows up. Just looks not quite engaged thus far.

Edit: Big trouble now.

Man, it's a battle of Zverev double faults vs. Felix unforced errors. Who will prevail?

Edit: The answer is Zverev. If you can't break serve when a guy gifts you 4 DF's in one game, then it's just not your day.

They just showed Uncle Toni in the coaches box and the look on his face was like I wonder if I can get on the Alcaraz team.

All that said, credit to Felix for hanging in there and trying to find a way through. There's a lot of other players who would have just folded the tent and given up.

Felix needs to get out of those backhand-to-backhand rallies, it's not a winning strategy.

At this point is anyone not cheering for Alcaraz to win this title?
