Great tournament for Felix. Beating Medvedev is exactly what the doctor ordered for his comeback.

Man, if he can get by Ruud, he's playing for a medal. Ruud is so tough on clay though and the winner of Felix vs. Ruud will likely play Charlie.

Felix did beat him in Madrid this season so it's certainly doable if he's on his game.

Zheng Qinwen winning over Iga in straight sets to advance to the gold medal match is quite something.

Musetti is playing some fantastic tennis and since it's best of three instead of best of five, he could give Novak some trouble (assuming Novak gets by Oikos).

Felix needs to shake off that second set in a hurry, he should be cooling his jets and getting ready for mixed doubles with Gaby.

That is a massive win to knock off Ruud on clay in an event like this for FAA. It certainly doesn't get any easier with Alcaraz next but he's back to beating players above his ranking and that is a huge progression.

This is probably a pretty extreme overreaction, but Tsitsipas might be the worst player ever.

In non-Olympic tennis news, Shapo has advanced to the quarter-finals in Washington, DC with a three set win over Kecmanovic. Now up to #106 in the live rankings, one more win in DC and he's back in the top 100.

I don't think that 6-1 opening set score reflects how well Felix played in that opening set, but it does reflect some exemplary tennis from Charlie.
