An interesting concept - are there more events like this? How long does the whole thing take? Could be made for prime time TV.

The fast-paced, knock-out Tie Break Tens format consists of first to ten-point tie break matches. The players will be divided into two groups for round-robin play, followed by a final match between the two winners of group play, for a total of seven matches during the course of the evening.

it wasn't a round robin tournament, it was an 8 man knockout. 7 matches
rock-paper-scissors to determine who serves first

Man, I wish I could see Bianca's match - She dropped the first four games, but has rallied to level the first set at 5-5
Edit: The first set goes to a tie-breaker but unfortunately Bianca loses the breaker by a 7-3 score.

woo hoo, Bianca rallies from losing that first set to win the next two by identical 6-3 set scores.

All right, Felix takes the opening set 6-3. Serving exceptionally well thus far.

Early break for Felix in set 2 - Norrie is very frustrated as Felix is getting to a lot of balls.

FAA is absolutely dealing today through 1.5 sets.
1st SV % - 82
1st Sv Return % - 43
Kid is going to go deep here if he keeps crushing elite numbers like this. Especially impressive he's doing this against a quality opponent like Norrie.

Felix slams the trunk on Norrie with a break followed by a hold at love. 62 minutes later, Felix moves on with a 6-3 6-2 win. Big win as he defends his points from last year with that win over Vasek at last year's tourney. Next up, Greek Yogourt.

Felix was 3-0 against Stefanos in junior so he's got a chance!

If Felix hits anywhere close to like he did today it won't hurt his chances at all.

Felix is my beacon of hope in a bleak, post-Roger world.
