Denis did play doubles today, but the Bryan brothers were too much as Shapo and partner Rohan Bopanna lose in straight sets 6-3 6-4.

Your predictions seem to be a death sentence. Could you please predict a Coric win for tonight?

No predictions tonight, just rooting for Felix. I will say that if you would have asked me for a prediction for the Shapo-Tsitsipas match, I would have picked Greek Yogourt.

Yeah, me too. To be fair it took Denis in peak form to beat him.

I don't think I have a prediction tonight either.

Felix wins a 70 minute set.

He had 2 set points, 25 minutes between them!

Coric has a terrible 2nd serve by top 20 standards..

I mean Isner is an elite serve bot, but I don't think anyone can handle Felix when he's hitting 1120 MPH serves.

Didn't get to watch that one, sadly. Not sure I WANT to watch an Isner match, but I guess we'll see.

For anyone who has a Tennis TV subscription, how do you like it? How's the quality? Do you use the app? I'd definitely want to be able to use it on my phone (android), so that's a question.

I have a Tennis TV subscription and I like it, not sure how recent the addition of an annual subscription is, but at $149 pr year, I think it's comparable with other types of sports streaming services. If you miss a match, you can watch a replay at your convenience. I have yet to try the app or watching a match on my phone, however.

Just for fun, Isner's tournament so far...

I'm not sure Felix will ever have more support worldwide in a match than for this one. Hell I expect most American fans to be rooting for him. Isner is just unwatchable, what a disgusting player. He should be exempt from tiebreaks in majors, or he should be forced to start every one down 3-0.

As much as watching servebots irritates me, I think the opposite - just skip the actual sets and go straight to the tiebreaks. Save us all some time and boredom. I don't begrudge Isner and his ilk winning matches; they do it fair and square. I just don't feel like I need to see them do it.

I'm not sure what's worse, a servebot match or hours of excruciating anti-tennis. The ATP should really try to come up with creative ways to favour the more entertaining players it has coming up. I don't know precisely what I would suggest on that front.

I watched the Opelka - Schwartzman match and you would have thought the match was being played in Buenos Aires with all the fan support for Schwartzman. That's not uncommon for the Miami tournament, the Argentine fans flock to that event to support their native sons.
