I have to believe NF is very excited for the Rafa - Goatfin match coming up later this morning.

The GOAT with an early break......Nadal will need to play better to win this match.

Felix vs. Sinner is just nicely underway and Felix just broke and is serving at 3-1 in the opening set.
Edit: Consolidates the break with a very nice service game. Looking dialed in early in this one.

Felix takes the opening set 6-1. Serve and forehand very solid thus far today.

Meanwhile, I see the Goat broke Rafa to take set 2 7-5. Might have to switch matches to see what's going on.

Felix breaks to start set 2 - He's playing well, but Sinner with some very uncharacteristic unforced errors is certainly helping the cause.
Edit: Consolidates with little stress.

My goodness, back-to-back scorching winners from Felix (one off each wing) and he secures another break.

Rafa needs to hold serve to force a 3rd set tie-break. Just a reminder that he was up 5-3 in set 2 and did have a match point in that second set.
Edit: Going to the tie-break. 2 hours and 51 minutes in.

Oh man, Goffin had the match winner on his racket and his forehand clipped the tape, 6-6 and we play on.

Rafa with the drop shot on the Goffin match point - No problem lol
Edit: He just did it again at 8-9 in the tie-break. 9-9 now

Rafa survives, feel bad for Goffin, that forehand at 6-5 in the tie-break was a tough miss.

That said, we all want to see Rafa vs. Charlie on Friday right?
Edit: Norrie just forced a 3rd set as he just won set 2 in a tie-break

Charlie gets a win on his 19th birthday and we will indeed see Rafa vs. Alcaraz on Friday.

Just took a quick look at the ATP live rankings and if Felix wins on Friday, not only will be get to another ATP Masters 1000 semi-final, but he will also rise to #8 in the world.
