Felix just lost to Watanuki. A hobbled and hurting Watanuki at that.
That is, well...how can I say....very no good.

That was a tough loss, but in my opinion that was the best match that Felix has played in 2023. Also, Watanuki red-lined that entire match, I have to think that's the best match he has ever played.

I have to respectfully disagree with the part I bolded. Although Watanuki played rather well in this one, I actually think he played even better than that in his close losses to Tiafoe in Miami & to Hurkacz in Stuttgart.

This was my first extended look at Watanuki, but I'll take your word for it Karl. Maybe I'll check out those other matches if they're still available on Tennis TV.

Felix had 19 winners to 6 unforced errors - Yosuke Watanuki had 32 winners to 15 unforced errors. Both guys played well, but Watanuki prevailed 7-6 7-6 and just managed to win the majority of the big points today.

Thiem won again today and gets Laslo Djere on Friday. Another three set win for Domi after dropping the first set.

Domi does it again coming back from a set down to defeat Laslo Djere in three sets (10-8 in the 3rd set tie-break). He will face Baez in the final.

Sebastian Baez just too good today winning in Kitzbuhel 6-3 6-1 over Dominic Thiem. Very good week for Dominic though reaching the final playing some great tennis along the way.
