Tallon Griekspoor has forced a 3rd and deciding set against Zverev. Looks like Zverev is taking a MTO (neck/back issue).
Edit: Zverev looks okay to me, maybe some gamesmanship?

Would you believe me if I told you Zverev double-faulted to give Griekspoor a break in set 3?
/Two double-faults in the game lol

Griekspoor closes it out in style. Really impressive tennis down the stretch.

Vasek needs to take a break and maybe see how he feels for Indian Wells or Miami.

At his ranking he's going to have to go through quallies and I can't see that going well given his current state.

Carlitos is back in action tonight in Argentina while Shapo is also on court as I type taking on Michael Mmoh in Delray Beach.

Denis was up 4-1, now Mmoh is serving for the opening set at 6-5
Edit: Mmoh takes the opening set 7-5

Shapo showing some signs of life although still far from his best tennis.

Denis unravelling here.
Edit: The commentators are laughable though, Mmoh wasn't playing brilliant tennis, Denis handed him the break and offered very little resistance tonight. Also, why is he constantly barking at Peter Polansky, Peter isn't the one hitting stupid drop shots that are landing close to the service line. He needs a break even more than Vasek does.

Shapo is a mess. Such a shame to see his talent wasted.

Important match for Felix as he needs to beat players like Medvedev if he's ever going to win a grand slam.

Committing 30 unforced errors and winning only 33% of return points against a player like Mmoh speaks volumes. There isn't much more to say really. He certainly is a mess and is just too stubborn to change his ways. He is going to be well outside the top 50 soon (and possibly even lower if he doesn't take a good long look in the mirror).
I have a hard time calling someone out for this, but his tactics and refusal to change are just dumb. I won't even watch his matches anymore as they are just sad to watch. Even the worst serve bot knows what shots they can hit and cannot hit under a set of circumstances within the match. Dennis is just proving to be way too obtuse to even make an attempt to restrain himself or set up a point and deserves to be losing matches like this.

Sinner just won the opening set 6-4 over Oikos. Clean, impressive hitting from the Italian.
Edit: A break to love by Jannik to start set 2. Stef is reeling.

Sinner with his first ever top 3 win taking out Tsitsipas 6-4 6-3 and was dominant throughout the match.

Rune getting some treatment on his hand/wrist.
Edit: Rune retires down 4-love in set 2 to a cascade of boos. It will be Dutch-on-Dutch on Friday as Brouwer will face Greikspoor.

Wow, that was a really good match between Dimitrov and De Minaur. Grigor saves two match points in the 3rd set tie-break and a fantastic point/shot to win the match. Next up is Felix and Meddy.
