I can't deal with his last name. I simply address him as Felix. I suspect that is what he will be called going forward if he continues in this upward trajectory.

He's been under doctor's care for it since he was a young kid and they apparently found another specialist last year who did some kind of procedure that was supposed to fix the problem. He has been fine through a busy 2019 schedule, especially in the extreme heat and humidity of Rio. Fingers crossed that they found the solution.

If he becomes a big star he’ll be known as Felix. Not many other stars with Felix as a first name so he can own it.

Funny, I ran into a doppleganger of Felix today at Busch Gardens, Tampa. I almost wonder if it was him. We were behind a family getting onto a ride and there was a white mother, a guy that looked like Felix, and a sister with slightly less dark skin. She was wearing an ITA shirt and the mom had a US Open tennis cap on. I briefly asked if they were into tennis and she said, “Yes, how do you know?” I said “You are wearing tennis gear.” And she said “Oh, they play in college.” I didn’t have my phone at the time to take a pic or compare family photos (we had put our stuff in a locker) but the resemblance is interesting now I have seen a recent video about him and his family. We chatted a bit about tennis, the USTA Center in Orlando, and that was it. I mean, he should be in Miami and not Tampa right now, right?

I don't expect too much of him this year. I think in two or three years or will be when we see whether he's going to step up and win slams or fall short like the lost Gen.
Just call him FAAI can't deal with his last name. I simply address him as Felix. I suspect that is what he will be called going forward if he continues in this upward trajectory.

slightly off topic...
FAA ranked 57th coming into Miami Open....but still needs to qualify. Why didn't he get direct entry to the main draw ?

Players who ranked 50th or below must play qualifications at masters

As per the ATP rule book, IW and Miami have large draws and is written that they have 78-79 direct entries. That's where I'm confused.

Not so.
They have to enter the tournament about six weeks ahead of time and it's their ranking at that time that counts. Felix was about 104. It wasn't high enough for Indian Wells direct entry either but they gave him a wild card. Miami could have given him a WC too but they are owned by IMG and they gave all their WCs to clients of IMG. Ahhhh, tennis politics. Ain't it fun.

Maybe call him the Fed then? or the AuthorityI would but I have a huge distaste for the F.A.A., so I will go with Felix.

Canadian tennis is risingAnd speaking of rankings, what a huge jump for Felix. From 104 at the beginning of the year, he's now up to #46! Trying to stay up there with his good buddy Bianca.

I hope he wins at least more than 1 slam, he definitely is in the upper echelon or Next geners.
