Felix with an excellent return game to get back on serve - I would say that the crowd is split about 50/50 as far as rooting interest is concerned which is a little surprising.

Simon was serving for the first set at 5-3 - Three games later, Felix is serving for the first set at 6-5

Edit: Felix takes the opening set 7-5 - That was a fine last four games of tennis, the unforced errors disappeared and FAA capitalized on Simon getting tight.

It will be Felix vs. Greek Yogurt in the Marseille final as FAA takes the match over Simon 7-5 7-6. Let's hope Felix can get that maiden ATP title on Sunday.

Even having him regularly sniffing around the trophies at his age is extremely encouraging. I’m hoping for a quick progression now that it’s clear my fav of the past two decades is falling to pieces.

Was an important week for FAA as he is defending 300 points from Rio last year. A win tomorrow and he would get 250 of that back

I think that’s what’s most impressive about Felix right now, he’s defending points won on clay on hard courts. Already showing a strong multi surface game.

Karlovic is set to first play Tuesday night. Vasek and Brayden will be the highlight of Wednesday night action, I believe starting at 6:30 p.m.

Rain delay in Delray Beach - Winner of Milos vs. Opelka will play Nishioka in the Sunday final.

Darn, I thought Felix was going to wriggle off the hook there down love-40 (had a game point), but Tsitsipas earns the break and is serving at 3-2 in set 2.

Ugh, three breaks in a row - Didn't like Felix's approach there at all, he doesn't need to come into net as much as he is, he can win from the baseline against Tsitsipas.

Tsitsipas defends his title with a 6-3 6-4 win over Felix. Tough one for Felix, but give credit to Stefanos, he certainly was the better player today.

Milos and Opelka are on court in Delray Beach and Milos gets off to a fine start breaking Opelka in the opening game.
