This is big news - another no go this year and the event would probably be done here. Hopefully by then players will actually be able to cross the boarder freely to participate!

This Greek Yogurt - ADF match is getting good here in the third set.

Edit: Tsitsipas survives 6-4 in set 3.

In an all-Argentine battle in Buenos Aires, Federico Delbonis takes the opening set 6-1 over Delpo.

Tough scenes in Buenos Aires as Delpo is breaking down with the partisan crowd urging him on.

Edit: Delbonis might need a police escort out of the stadium if he keeps hitting drop shots than Delpo can't get to.

Edit 2: Delbonis wins 6-1 6-3 and a nice embrace at the net between the two players.

Vasek is through to round 2 in Dallas as he played teacher to SMU student Caleb Chakravarthi 6-1 6-0. Pops next plays Juri Rodionov who upset Maxime Cressy.

Felix up 5-2 in set 3 and serving for the match against Gerasimov. Lost the first set 6-3, but has only dropped four games since then.

Edit: FAA closes it out 3-6 6-2 6-2 and will next play the winner of Bublik vs. Andy Murray

Felix will take on Andy Murray next as the Scot just eliminated Bublik in straight sets.

Would you believe me if I told you that a best-of-three match between Kevin Anderson and John Isner went the full three sets and all three sets went to tie-breaks? Isner advances and awaits the winner of Vasek and Rodionov.

Having flashbacks to the Wimbledon semi final we had to endure, that just never ended!

Felix takes the opening set 6-3 playing some high quality tennis. Andy Murray is running his butt off as FAA is dictating play.

Felix breaks early in set 2. This is extraordinarily special tennis from the Canadian at the moment.

Edit: Jinx working well as Murray breaks back at love in the very next game lol
