Felix lost the first set 6-1

And, having just watched the last three games, looks likely to lose the next very easily too

He's just being plain outplayed

Opponent has served 9 aces and Felix hasn't had a single break point.

He's 5-0 down in the 2nd... jeez! That's quite the drubbing against a player 100+ places below him.

Ouch

With all due respect to his opponent that all sounds rather un-Felixlike. Hope he's OK.

I watched 10 mins - he seemed fine, no obvious injury, no strapping or anything, nor any MTOs or trainers called

He might be feeling a little ill, of course, upset stomach or whatever

But he was running for the ball, wasn't grimacing or anything like that

One to put to the back of your mind and move on.
Felix has still been on an upward trajectory for a while now.
Hope he doesn't let one really bad result upset him.

I wonder if his opponent will get to the finals. His progress might be interesting.

After destroying Felix he then gave a walkover in the next round!
