He looked completely spent in the tiebreaker. Acapulco is a tough one with the humidity and heat. It would be interesting to see how many players could handle best of five sets there.

Felix into the semi-finals in Dubai following a 6-3 7-6 win over Jiri Lehecka. That was some excellent tennis from FAA, only quibble might be going 2 for 9 on break points, but credit to Lehecka, he really stepped up on those break opportunities for Felix.

Meddy destroyed Brooksby 6-2 6-1 and will square off with FAA in the semi-finals.

yes, and it's all night tennis, i don't think the program starts until 6pm.

i don't know why Zverev is messing around in Mexico every year

2024: 1st round
2025: 1st round
2026: 2nd round

so he gained points

Felix eliminated by Meddy 6-4 6-2 and while the set scores don't look great, I think Felix played a very good match today. The problem was Medvedev was close to the Medvedev that won the US Open five years ago. It's pretty clear that he is over that shoulder injury that really plagued him for close to 18 months.

Oh well, still a good week for Felix, onwards to the Sunshine Double.

Tallon Griekspoor having a week sending Bublik, Mensik, and Rublev packing. He will take on Meddy on Saturday in the Dubai final.

Griekspoor unable to play the final due to an injury he suffered in his match versus Bweh ergo Meddy gets a walkover win to the Dubai title.
