Just heard the commentator say that a Fritz backhand was wide that would have made it love-30 in the Fritz service game.

Felix’s backhand letting him down this tiebreak. Really unfortunate.

That FAA wonky backhand is showing up at the worst time.

First set to Fritz as he takes it 7-4 in the tie-break. Still bugs me that we don't have electronic line calling, love-30 is much different than 15-15, maybe Fritz still holds serve in any event, but if you have the technology, use it.

For a guy who recently won 3 consecutive tournaments, Felix certainly looks less composed than his opponent.
Such a shame. So much money on the line which would be huge for Felix Im sure at this point in his career.
Won’t beat Djokovic with this level that’s for sure. So hopefully he raises his game these next two sets and then can carry it through to the weekend.

Toni Nadal to Freddie Fontang: Rafa would have put that return in play.

even though he got a few break points there, FAA is returning so poorly.

Yup - You have to put the ball in court from a Fritz second serve, it was middle of the box and right in the hitting zone.

Man, that Fritz backhand is a thing of beauty. The forehand isn't too shabby either.

4/4 returning the first serve there.
Then he’s outmatched in the rally game.

Check Prince Harry linesman’s bank account! He’s out to get Felix this set.

He just lost his confidence from his incredible run. You can see it in that rally. Too tentative to take control.
I can’t watch anymore. Ugh, poor Felix.

Can't double fault in a tiebreak, that really killed Fritz.

Fritz opened the door at 4-2 in the tie-break with a double fault but Felix was large and in charge from that point forward.

A tale of two tiebreaks so far. Felix backhand sabotaged the first tiebreak and it seemed Fritz had the match in the bag until that terrible double fault and Felix with some great shot wins the 2nd tiebreak.

That's a pretty big hold from love-30 down by Felix.

We are not seeing peak Felix. We are seeing peak Fritz.
