I saw the tie-break of this one - Felix was playing well

Very good from Felix! 2nd Challenger QF after he lost his first one in Italy last year.

Felix wins 7-5 6-4 smile

I only saw the last three games. Cecchinato's sit down protest in the last game was interesting but I couldn't quite make out what was going on. I think a serve of Felix's was called out and then corrected to in giving him an ace. Cue a lot of fast Italian from Cecchinato and I presume they had to call the referee to adjudicate. All I could hear was the umpire saying "Rapido" which I took to mean that the correction came quickly. Anyway, the ace stood and luckily it didn't put Felix off as he won his serve and the match. I sometimes wish these feeds had subtitles though. You miss all the juicy bits.

Yes - I watched only the last few games, turned away for a short while, and saw nothing going on. I thought maybe the match was over but the score not updated! Then they started playing again!
