Looks like Monfils and Nishikori are having a heck of a match - Currently in the third set with Nishikori serving up a break leading 4-3.

Monfils now up 5-4. Had a rough start to the 3rd put really pouring it on now. Crowd is really behind him and gave him a a boost.

Monfils had a few match points, but Kei battled back. Now 6-5 with Nishikori serving to send the match to a third set tie-breaker.

Nishikori takes it in a tie-breaker 7-6 (3). Monfils must be gutted, as previously mentioned, match points on Kei's serve at 5-4 in set 3 and just couldn't convert.

Horrendous first game by Milos - broken by a very aggressive Kyrgios.

He might still be battling a bit, but - and I only saw most of the first set - it looked like Kyrgios' strategy was to be hyper aggressive and force Milos to be on the run pretty much all the time. It worked well for him. Mainly because he was able to get his second serve in consistently after missing every other first serve by 10 inches.

On Reddit, they said the American Davis Cup team once played on hardwood to give John McEnroe an advantage. Imagine if we did that for Milos!
