Felix made his third ATP final of 2019, but lost to Matteo Berettini of Italy. Matteo has nothing but good things to say about Felix:

Watching this match on TSN3, Kyrgios tossed in an underhand serve in his first service game, also showed good sportsmanship though as a Felix serve was called out by the linesperson, but Kyrgios said, "No man, that serve was good" and it was a game point for Felix.

Triggered lol

The funny thing is this match is being shown on a "commentary-free" court meaning no tv commentators, but none are needed as Nick is providing a running dialogue throughout the match.

Going to a 3rd and deciding set (Kyrgios won the opening set in a tie-breaker, Felix won set 2 in a tie-breaker).

Kyrgios just took a nasty spill to start the 3rd set, that looked painful to the groin region.

lol - Nike wants all their sponsored athletes to look the same at these ATP tourneys, it can be pretty confusing to the casual tennis fan when both players are wearing the same kit.

The frustrating thing is that Kyrgios has the talent to win Wimbledon, but the focus just isn't there.

Oh and congrats to Felix for taking the match 6-7 7-6 7-5.

Felix knocks out top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets 7-5 6-2 and could face Milos in one of the semi-finals on Saturday.

Close match, Lopez just played a better tie-breaker than Milos. So, it will be 18 year old Felix versus 37 year old Lopez on Saturday.

Stefanos Tsitsipas with some very nice words discussing Felix:

Not to be for Felix today, but he's had a heck of a year as the following outlines...
