A lucky net-cord off a service return gives Felix the break and the opening set over Laaksonen 6-4

Felix rolls to a 6-4 6-1 victory looking very efficient in the process. Up next on Friday is Radu Albot.

Felix beat the 2nd best Swiss player on tour right now. Any other year that would be an amazing accomplishment.

Milos out to a fast start against Bublik up a break at 4-1 in the opening set.

Edit: Milos takes the opening set 6-3. Bublik 0-for-1 on underhand serves thus far.

Milos caps a perfect 3-0 day for Canadians on Thursday with a 6-3 6-2 victory over Bublik. Up next on Friday is Khachanov.

Denis takes the opening set 6-4. Battled hard to save his opening two service games and then really played well the rest of the set. Only slight issue is some double faults creeping back in.

Shapo rips a forehand winner and breaks Stan early in set 2.

Edit: Stan breaks right back with a beautiful backhand winner.

Looks like Felix and Milos will be playing their respective matches in Cologne and St. Petersburg at approximately the same time.

Edit: Felix start time pushed back a bit as the match currently on court needs a 3rd set.

Down 15-30, Milos goes boom-boom-boom-boom. On serve at 4-4 in set 2.

Khachanov got totally rattled after that lucky first point for Milos and it was all over. Good chance of having an all-Canadian final in St. Petersburg.

I don't know who this band is in Cologne, but they have a great beat. Oh, and Felix won the opening set 6-3

I gotta say, I love the clean look of Hawk-Eye live being used this week in St. Petersburg and Cologne. I find it very disconcerting when an umpire is moving after the serve to get back in position to make line calls. I don't want anybody to be out of a job, but as far as aesthetics on tv is concerned, Hawk-Eye live is a keeper.
