Oh Jack, up 5-3 in the 3rd set tie-break and Tsitsipas wins four straight points. That's a tough one.

You can only get away with poor serving for so long.

This is tough to watch from Naomi - The heckling really got to her prior to the 2nd game of this match.

Pretty good day for Canadian tennis yesterday including Rebecca Marino who is into another ITF final and has been given a wild card into qualifying for Miami.

Upset alert as Petra Martic is up a break in set 3 against Emma Raducanu. Emma looks to be hurting physically (could be a back or a hip issue).

Edit: Petra Martic with the first top 20 win of her career as she wins 6-7 6-4 7-5 over Emma. Raducanu stayed in the battle and did not take a MTO at any point, but it was clear she was not 100% for the last half of the match.

As far as rankings go, this is an upset, but Kecmanovic beating Cilic in three sets (8-6 in the 3rd set tie-break) isn't an upset if you take a good look at how the young Serb has played in 2022. He awaits the winner of Felix and BVDZ (Botic van de Zandschulp)

Felix channeling his inner Leylah saving three match points and forcing a 3rd and deciding set against BVDZ. The Canadians have taken over Indian Wells by the way, Stadium 4 is adorned with the Maple Leaf.

The fight is there but this is as bad technically that FAA has played in awhile. Let's hope VDZ chokes up a bit.

This is such a poor performance from Felix and he still has a chance to win this match.

I'd be okay if Felix was clearly outplayed by his opponent, but that was a D level performance from FAA today. Serve was brutal, forehand was brutal, volleys were terrible, just ugh in general. That said, the fight was there which is admirable.
