What a gutsy match from both players. With this win, Felix is again proving he is a talent beyond his years by fighting through adversity. We may still get the Felix Raonic showdown in the semi-finals if Milos can take care of business as well.

All right, Felix rallies from 3-5 down in set 3 to win the match in a third set tie-breaker (7-2 was the tie-breaker score). Halfway to an all-Canadian semi-final in Stuttgart, Milos is up next.

Hopefully Milos wasn't up too late celebrating the Raptors big win last night. He will really have to earn this match as Fucsovics is playing much better than his 15-15 record this year (and ranking #52) indicates. The Hungarian has pushed some big time players to the limit this year.

Milos takes the first set fairly quickly and playing well. Not a good sign that he is apparently once again having a visit from the medical staff in between sets.
Hopefully this is not knee related as this could spell an early end to his grass court season.

Milos takes the opening set 6-4 (broke Fucsovics in the opening game of the match). Serve and volley tennis from the big man, keeping the points short.

Milos with a big break of serve in the middle of the second set. Fucsovics does not look great when trying to get up and play the net at all. The match is his for the taking now.
Edit: Milos takes the match 6-4, 6-4. Solid performance. Can't wait for the showdown with Felix tomorrow!

Unfortunately the showdown will have to wait until another time, Felix into the final via walkover. No word yet on why Milos withdrew. Third final already for Felix this year, gotta think he's got a real chance to break the teenage major winner drought with five more majors before he turns 20. Great chance to win tomorrow against Berrettini. Also Denis is in the doubles final right now.

Just watched Milos addressing the crowd in Stuttgart and he said his back just wouldn't allow him to play today. He looked pretty upset that he wasn't able to play today.

Federer is going for his 10th Halle title this week (pshh that's it ). Why that's important is because of the lame Wimbledon seeding if he wins he moves to the #2 seed and Nadal drops to 3.

Pretty sure they'll put 2 and 3 on the same side, so Roger and Rafa will need to get through each other and then Djoker either way. But the grass will produce more upsets so I'd bet one of the Holy Trinity doesn't get there as scheduled.

Roger to me is the man to beat at Wimbledon I would love to see him and Djokovic go at it there again. Besides the big 3 maybe a Del Potro gets hot or even a Cilic could make some noise.

Felix grinding like hell right now, twice rallying from 15-40 in this second set. Needs to start making some inroads on the Berrettini serve though.

Playing 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond at the changeover has to be a good sign for Felix, no?

Looks like this 2nd set is headed for a tie-breaker as Berrettini is hitting some bombs out there today.

Hey Senator, is it up to the umpire to decide whether or not to replay the point?!? I mean, people call out from the gallery all the time.
