Sinner probably beats no matter who comes out of this in straight sets but Felix certainly has a better chance, his top form is good enough to beat anyone. It's consistency that's the issue.

Returner has won the first four points of this tie-break.

Edit: Make it five

Edit 2: Finally the server wins a point.

Maybe don't double fault in the tie break? Just a thought... Definitely don't do it twice!

EDIT: OK look, maybe I'll just shut my mouth, these guys are the best in the world so if they think double faulting in the tiebreak is a good strategy who am I to judge.

Really great job on MP not to overhit and go for the immediate winner. Just let the point play out.

$600,000 USD for winning that match, on top of $660,000 for getting to that match.

Its a great time to be playing his best tennis in a while.

Yup, I would say he caught the Demon off-guard with the slower paced ball.

You never know with Musetti. Matches between countrymen can be goofy.

Let's go Felix back in the semis of a major! Glad to see some results at a major after a couple of years. With his game he should consistently be a top 10 player on tour.

Last time Felix made the US Open semi finals he beat some guy named Alcaraz in the quarters. Now Alcaraz had to retire but nevertheless he has a punchers chance against Sinner.
