Serving out the match proves too much for Félix the first time. Maybe another break to avoid a pressure cooker game at 5-4, non?

No, Félix must step to the line again on serve in a match game, 5-4.

Second serve-out is the charm, 6-4 in the third!
Hope there’s enough rest/rehab time for tomorrow’s SF vs Basil Fawlty.

Well, he does look flat today, like he's phoning it in. He sure doesn't like drop shots.

SJ got a degree so he’s better prepaired for that second career. Not that Fritz will have a worry...that May department store family money will get him and the family through the rainy days.

The incompaireable Benoit lost just one 1st serve point in the 4&2 win.
Will be looking to capture a paire of titles in the same year for the first time tomorrow.

I believe so; Joe Kovic had three finals and two titles just slightly after turning 19. Nadal’s final in Auckland and title in Sopoty in ‘04 sandwiched his 18th birthday.

Add-on: Muzziah in ‘05 had one final at age 18 (Bangkok) and then a title (San Jose) and a final (Washington) in ‘06, with San Jose as a 18er.
@Mainad may now be happy.

Felix is making his maiden ATP final at the age of 18 years, 9 months and 17 days. Murray was 18 years, 5 months and 13 days when he made his 1st ATP final (2005 Bangkok). He was 18 years, 9 months less 2 days when he won his 1st title ( 2006 San José).

This is not Félix’s first final...recalculate to the Rio final, roughly three months ago.

Oops, ok. At the Rio final Felix was 18 years, 6 months and 16 days so still a little older than Murray was in his maiden final.

And 19 days older for his second final, which hopefully will follow the Muzziah’s successful conversion into a title.Oops, ok. At the Rio final Felix was 18 years, 6 months and 16 days so still a little older than Murray was in his maiden final.

Shapo and Fritz largely beat themselves but FAA should make it quite interesting. I just hope our favourite monsieur can win but stay true to himself and Benoir. I'd love to see another Paire-Fed match - what a lovely paire-ing of dropshot doyens that would be. I'm not sure who I have ahead in that department but it's close.

Moutet booting Dimitrov from Wimby after coming through qualies. Moutet has the heart of a lion and a game to match.

Was wondering why a clay tournament thread got a bump but then I saw your post and remembered your agenda.
Nice to see Moutet gutted out three qualifying matches and kept Dimitrough’s futility trend steady. However, results today show Moutet to be the second most successful young lefty Frenchman once again.
Have a lovely day of remorse for pinning your hopes on the little twerp.

I've only seen her play twice now but I've just become a big fan of Grauff.
Probably the biggest reason is her choice of shoe, same as mine (New Balance).
