If Rafa doesn't wrap this one up in two sets versus Paul, the final match won't be starting until Thursday morning in Paris.
Edit: We're going to a third set. Moutet vs. Norrie will have to wait lol

Tommy Paul now up a double-break in set 3 serving at 4-1
Edit: Tommy Paul advances over a totally out-of-sorts Nadal winning set 3 6-1. Paul will get PCB on Thursday.

that was as mentally checked out as I've ever seen Rafa, daddy duties are crowding out the tennis motivation

It is 1:55 am in Paris and Norrie just forced a 3rd set with Moutet.

Well, Moutet sends the French fans home happy as he prevails in a third set tie-break. The match ended at 3:03 am. Of course, Moutet now takes on Greek Yogurt who will have a huge advantage as far as rest is concerned.

Frances Tiafoe just eliminated Alex de Minaur which means Big Foe will face the winner of Felix vs. Simon on Friday.

Felix and Gilles are warming up on Centre Court - Let's go Felix!!
Edit: Felix zips out to a 3-love lead - Bringing out the drop shot to test the 37 year old legs, no friends between the lines.

Nothing like hitting a bushel of aces to quiet the French crowd. Simon pulled out some amazing shots to hold serve, but The Silencer (that's my nickname for FAA) is in fine form today.

Felix takes the opening set 6-1 - 16 winners to 8 unforced errors in a very tidy 1st set.

Felix losing a bit of focus in that service game (two double faults), but does hold serve. Needs to stay on the gas here and keep the crowd out of this match.

Back-to-back drop shots earns Felix a break in set 2. That's right out of the how to beat pushers playbook, they love to run side-to-side, up-and-back not so much.

That break by FAA deserves a 10/10 score. What an intelligent and well constructed use of the drop on back to back points to snap this set back.

Really smart play by Felix coming to net with the deep slice to consolidate the break.

All class from Felix showing the love to Gilles Simon who's had a fantastic career.

Tiafoe, Alcaraz (likely) and Djokovic/Tsitsipas (likely) will not be an easy road to travel to make this 4 titles in a row, but man is his mental game on point these days. If the body continues to hold up, I wouldn't bet against FAA.

Rune dispatches Rublev in straight sets which setups a battle of the 19 year olds on Friday as it will be Carlitos versus Holger.
