That sucks, Felix had that game in the bag and forced to play a let. Now at deuce.
Edit: Yup, Djere gets the break to get back on serve - Could be a big momentum swing off a bad line call.

Some much better tennis from both guys (especially Djere) in this second set.

Gutsy hold from Felix to stay in the match at 5-5

Felix saved 4 match points, but the 5th clinched the match for Djere. Heck of a week for Felix, though.

I think the fact that Djere had a day off yesterday was a big help, Felix looked a little tired today which is quite understandable.

Laslo is dedicating the title to his parents - It just got a little dusty in here.

FAA will still have to qualify for IW and Miami. New ranking does not take effect in time.

I would hope he would get a wild card for at least one of IW or Miami. He's a charismatic talent that people want to see.

Milos bounced in the first round in Dubai by Struff. Next up for Milos is Indian Wells.

Two of the wildcards will be americans who finish the best in a points competition (Oracle Cup?). Right now that's probably Opekla and a guy named Roy Smith.
So three left and they'll probably go to Americans. Ryan Harrison, Jack Sock who is now ranked below the top 100
If they decide on non-americans, it could be the two guys you saw last night, FAA or Djere.

yesterday, 17-year old Italian Jannik Sinner won the challenger in Bergamo.
He looks 12.

Khachanov also crashed out of the Dubai tourney earleir today meaning that Borna Coric is the only seeded player remaining in Roger's half of the draw.

Monfils' good form continues, taking out Cilic in Dubai.
6-0 in the 3rd, Cilic won 5 points in the entire set.
What kind of tennis is that?

Kohlschreiber took a set off Fed, but Roger wins going away 6-1 in the third set. Fed is now 14-0 against the German.

Canadian results from last night:
Peter Polansky is victorious over Chris Harrison 6-4 3-6 7-6 at the Indian Wells Challenger event - Up next for Peter is Andrey Rublev.
Bianca rolls over Teichmann 6-1 6-3 to advance in Acapulco. Tough match today against #4 seed Buzărnescu of Romania.

The timing should work out pretty good to catch the Flames - Devils game followed by Krygios - Nadal from Acapulco tonight.
