Fed is a service hold away from delivering a bagel - The first five games have consumed 14 minutes on the clock.
Edit: Bagel achieved in 18 minutes.

We're going to a third and deciding set as Monfils takes set 2 6-4. Some uncharacteristic loose play from Roger, let's see if it carries over to set 3.
Edit: Fed breaks Gael in the crucial 7th game to get back on serve, Roger serving at 3-4. Should be a doozy of a finish to this match.

Monfils had a couple of match points, but couldn't cash in and Fed survives winning 6-0 4-6 7-6(3). Credit to Monfils for making it an entertaining match after a disaster of a first set.

Great run to the Madrid women's doubles final by the duo of Gaby Dabrowski and Xu Yifan who won their semi-final match earlier today 6-4 6-4 over Zvonareva and Ostapenko.

Novak Djokovic reached the semifinals of the Madrid Open on Friday after Marin Cilic withdrew because of food poisoning. Cilic said he had a "terrible night" and would not be able to play in the quarterfinal match against the top-ranked Djokovic.

Thiem didn't play a good first set (looked pretty nervous out there). He's playing much better in set 2 and had three break points at love-40, but Roger reeled off five straight points to hold.

Federer is in god-mode as far as service is concerned. He didn't even miss a first serve until the back end of the first set and started 15/15!
He's still cracking serves, but is now only connecting on 80% of first serves for the match.
