By the way, the young Czech kid Lehecka who knocked off Shapo earlier this week is into the quarter-final after defeating Botic van de Zandschulp earlier today.

Felix has been gradually transforming into a consistent, high end pro that usually wins when he's supposed to. his trophy drought is going to end very soon, and we're going to see him posing for pics at the end of many tournaments in the next few years.

Jack, the biggest difference I have seen of late is his willingness to rally and reset the point when he's in trouble as opposed to trying to hit a crazy winner that usually misses the mark. His return of serve is greatly improved and he continues to put pressure on his opponent. Andy Murray played a fine match today, but Felix just played smart tennis and basically hit winners from prime court positions. You can also see the maturity in his game as there was no panic when Murray broke straight back, it was an attitude of "let's get back to work".

Lehecka's dream week continues as he knocked off Musetti earlier today and will take on Greek Yogurt in the Rotterdam semi-finals.

Felix breaks and then hands a break right back to Norrie with three double faults in one game.

Edit: Felix rights the ship and breaks Norrie in the 12th game of the opening set to take it 7-5

Felix is into the semi-finals following a 7-5 7-6 win over Cam Norrie. Norrie played great and it was a high quality match. Felix had 46 winners to 26 unforced errors which is a fantastic ratio.

The get prior to the winner down the line was incredible...

Jiri Lehecka's dream week ends at the hands of Tsitsipas, but it was a close match with Greek Yogurt prevailing 4-6 6-4 6-2. I think the young kid from the Czech Republic just ran out of gas which is understandable considering he had to qualify for the main draw.

Folks, if you're not watching this Felix - Rublev match, you might want to tune in as Felix has forced a 3rd and deciding set. He really should be off the court celebrating a win as Rublev stole the first set in a tie-break, but Felix just won set 2 6-4. Let's go Felix!

Fantastic match ! If this is the next great rivalry in men's tennis we are in good hands......Rublev looking like Jackie Moon from the Flint Tropics

Break!

Edit: Make it a double break!!

Felix serving for the match at 5-2. It's time to slam the trunk on the Russian.

Felix!! Great comeback today! Into the final versus Greek Yogurt on Sunday.

48 winners to 17 unforced errors for Felix today, in reality the set scores flattered Rublev today, as I mentioned above, it should have been a straight sets win for FAA.

Did you guys see the set scores in the Opelka - Isner match today? Reilly Opelka won in two tie-breaks, tie-break in the first set was 9-7, tie-break in set 2 was 24-22
