FA2 is cracking some absolutely outrageous returns on the Isner serve. What a talent.

Damn that was a very close break for Félix, played some amazing shots. He’s been handling Isners serve well for never seeing it before

I think it's important to get some break chances early, even if Isner went on to hold that game. Felix is returning well which is also positive.

At this point you just hope he keeps pushing Isner into lengthy service games and maybe he will start to tire as the set and match draws on.

Now I'm watching... poor quality but whatever.

Felix has got this. He just needs to keep doing what he's doing, but maybe not go for winners quite as hard.

I’m blown away with how this kid moves for being 6’3-6’4, unreal potential

And a Break for FAA!

There it is!

FA2 now returning the Isner serve to a tune of 33% for the match thus far. Unbelievable.

Wow, great volley as that ball was dipping hard. Follows it up with a backhand pass to hold.

Felix has to realize by now that he doesn't need to go full out. Most rallies he can get this guy into, Isner will crack and error out. In that sense it's actually probably a pretty easy match, if you can get returns into play.

Huge hold, breaking here again would be ideal to start the second set serving.

I second that motion! Isner will get frustrated that Felix is getting so many balls back in play and start to force it more and more now.

FA2 now winning nearly 40% of return points against this guy. If this keeps up the rest of the match you can certainly put him among the games elite.
