This sucks, he will lose a ton of points after wining Miami and losing in the finals in Indian Wells, as well as SF loss at the French. I wonder how well he will come back at 39 after knee surgery.

Cilic breaks Denis to take set 2 6-4. Shapo needs to start serving better as Cilic is getting way too many looks at that second serve.

Ideal start as Shapo breaks Cilic at love to open set 3.

Another break at love for Denis and he is serving at 4-1 in the 3rd set.

Edit: Denis takes the match winning 6-4 4-6 6-2 and joins Vasek in the quarter-finals. Felix hopes to join his compatriots later today.

Intriguing match between Sinner and Medvedev - Sinner takes the opening set 6-1, Medvedev takes set 2 6-1. Can the young Italian re-group as Medvedev really took over after looking quite disinterested in that first set.

Edit: The 18 year old Italian wins only three games over the final two sets as Medvedev takes it 1-6 6-1 6-2.

Oh man, what a set point that forces a 3rd and deciding set. Felix with a great lob, but PHH with an even better lob and followed it up with a volley to take set 2 in a tie-breaker (8-6 was the tie-breaker score).

Edit: Here's the point...

Obviously, I'm elated Felix won, but he really should have been off the court over an hour ago, he had multiple chances to break PHH at 5-5 in set 2 and just couldn't cash in. In a ATP 250 tourney and indoors, not such a big deal, but in a Masters 1000 or grand slam, being efficient and getting off court as soon as possible is paramount.

This has to be the first time we have had four Canadians in the quarter-finals of ATP tournaments on the same day.

Shapo drops the opening set 7-5 to Bublik (broken in the last service game). Previously. Denis had three break points and couldn't convert any of them. Just not mentally sharp today and making bad shot selections, here's hoping he can be more focused for set 2.
