How are we still looking at clay marks in 2024? Embrace technology you stubborn French people.

woot!! Gaby and Felix take out Salisbury and Watson 7-5 4-6 10-3. Felix saved his best tennis for the super breaker while Gaby was brilliant throughout the match.

Felix and Clayvedev are warming up and it appears that CBC Gem is the only place to watch this match.

The rain has started to fall and play has been suspended. That's a shame because Felix is playing some excellent tennis. On serve but Meddy is down love-30 serving at 3-4 in the opening set.

Tarps are off and the court is being prepared for the resumption of play.

Felix breaks and is serving for the opening set at 5-3

Edit: Felix holds to take the opening set 6-3. That is the first set that Felix has taken from Meddy in a long time.

Just to recap the pivotal moments in the tie-break:

At 3-all, Felix double-faults to give Meddy the lead at 4-3
Felix plays a great point to square the tie-break at 4-4
Then Meddy double-faults to give Felix a 5-4 lead
Felix hits an unreturnable serve to go up 6-4
Felix comes to net but Meddy hits a passing shot right at Felix's feet and he just hits the volley wide to make it 6-5
Meddy then comes to net and Felix rips a shot that Meddy volleys into the net.

That is by far the best singles match that Felix has played in 2024.

I don't think we will get the Nadalcaraz match again today, the Olympics coverage this year has been terrible.

Nobody beats Felix eight times in a row.

/H2H was 7-0 Medvedev going into today's match.

Felix gets the winner of the Casper Ruud - Francisco Cerundolo match. It doesn't get any easier, but FAA is playing with house money at this point.

The Olympics coverage continues to be terrible, can't believe no one is showing the Nadalcaraz match

In their defense, CBC/TSN/Sportsnet are prioritizing Canadian athletes who are rarely in the spotlight.

Ruud is victorious over Cerundolo in straight sets and will take on Felix in the quarter-finals.

Felix and Gaby take out Fritz/Gauff 7-6 3-6 10-8. Canada is playing for a medal in mixed doubles.
