So they keep on saying that this court is very slow (much slower than the US Open) and I keep thinking that this plays right into the hands of Team Europe as it takes away the big serves of Opelka and Isner.

Okay, it's Felix time as he takes on good friend Matteo Berrettini.

Big hold by Felix right there as he was down 15-40 and ripped off four straight points.

Welp, two set points have come and gone as the Felix forehand fails him. Back on serve on set 1.

Felix stops the bleeding and guarantees himself a first set tie-break at worst. Of course, he should be one set to the good already.

We need to drain the Canadian niceness out of Felix - He should have drilled that ball right at Matteo.

That's huge that Felix won the first set. The crowd is fully engaged now, it was a very entertaining set of tennis.

Oh my, that backhand down the line was Djoker-esque by Felix.

Darn it, what a match. Tough one for Felix, he played great, just couldn't pull it out in the end.
