The other thing I will say is that Milos gets a lot of grief about his return of serve (or lack thereof), but Felix isn't any better at putting returns in play. He could have broken McDonald to take the opening set, but that requires actually getting some serves back.

Well, McDonald gifts a break to Felix with a double-fault in set 2. FAA getting into some McDonald service games this set.

Felix takes set 2 6-4. He should be up two sets to love, but the good news is that his level was higher in set 2 than it was in set 1.

No ripping of the shirt, but ripped is the key word.

Again, a chance to break early in set 4 and three unforced errors in a row. Just not good enough.

Another break point comes and goes. Bad forehand miss (not even close).

And there's the difference - McDonald breaks and is serving at 4-3 in set 4.

Final game sums up this match - Felix trying to break to stay in the match, up love-40, loses five points in a row. 1/13 for break points and 11 double faults, those are challenger tour numbers.

WTF is Wozniacki wearing? It looks like just left a highschool wrestling meet.
Nike sure likes going off script with their gear at this tourney, but not sure I expected that from Adidas.

New Balance has really stepped up their game, Coco's kit is fab.

It's 10:49 and Sarah Bareilles is singing to BJK and Michelle Obama on Arthur Ashe, while Djokovic is still waiting to go out there. He must want to murder all of them.

I think I should create a Canadian Heritage meme for Canadians and double-faulting in tie-breaks.
Edit: Tie-break turned on the Leylah double-fault and Alexandrova takes the opening set 7-6

Leylah was down 3-1 in set 2 and now finds herself serving for set 2 at 5-4. Combination of raising her level and Alexandrova dropping hers.
Edit: Could not consolidate the break.
Edit 2: Breaks straight back to serve for set 2 once again at 6-5. If only she could decline the serve and give it right back to her opponent
