Rafa with win #1,000 on tour only the 4th man to do that. How fitting that he accomplishes it in Paris.

Milos will indeed take on Ugo Humbert in the quarter-finals on Friday. The youngster is playing some fine tennis of late, Milos will have his hands full.

That's good to hear about Felix going another direction his development has certainly stalled. I wonder who he would go with, I'm sure there is a long line of coaches drooling at the chance to coach him.

Well, that could be pivotal. Down love-40 in his opening service game to start set 3 and Milos rips off five straight points for the hold.

My goodness, what a comeback by Milos from down 5-1 in the 3rd set tie-breaker to win it 9-7. He won a 30 shot rally on the first match point for his opponent. Incredible stuff from the big man. Next up is Medvedev on Saturday in the semi-finals.

What a tie breaker from Milos!! Hopefully he can keep it going against Medvedev and if he makes the finals I think he has a good shot at winning.

By the way, that win today puts Milos back in the top 15 for the first time in over a year.

Also, Milos isn't the only Canadian with a semi-final match on Saturday as Felix and his partner Hubert Hurkacz are into the semis in doubles following a 4-6 7-5 11-9 win over Venus and Peers.

Semi-finals in Paris are set:
Milos vs. Medvedev
Rafa vs. Zverev
Not sure which TSN channel will have the Milos match, but it is scheduled to start at 6 AM Mountain time (it is the first match of the day).

FAA and Hurkacz are into the doubles final after knocking out the team of Kubot/Melo 6-2 1-6 10-5. Milos and Medvedev are just warming up as I type.

Medvedev takes the opening set 6-4. The Russian had only three unforced errors in that opening set.

Trouble now as Milos was leading 40-15 in his service game and lost four straight points. Medvedev serving for the match at 6-5 in set 2.
Edit: Milos breaks back to force a second set tie-breaker.
