Fed rights the ship by taking second set.

I have not watched any today. But, am going to watch the third set of Fed vs. BC.

On serve, 3-3 in the third.

Fed has been quite grumpy, complaining to the umpire many times. He seems to be mainly annoyed with the condition of the court.

Wacky Nicko is the greatest! But seriously, going nuts over some clowns in the stands and getting defaulted is too much. He just doesn't care.

He did it! What a match, especially noteworthy since it’s his second win today.

Fed ekes out a win.

Will play winner of Fog vs. Tits match (which will be an interesting match as well).

The Great One wins it in three sets, showing a lot of grit, much to the pleasure of legions of his Italian fans.

I tought Coric had this one after 5:2, and 6:4 leads in TB. It's a pity. Great win for Fed though. Last week he lost a match like this and now won it. Congrats to him.

Nice win for Fed. Can't say I like him being out there for 2+ hours often in these clay matches though. His season is all about what happens after clay. Either a good year (wins a major) or a bad one.

On court nearly four hours today. I don’t see him getting past either Fognini or Tsitsipas, but I still think it was worth going to Rome, before heading to Paris.

Never underestimate Fed. He has a fair chance especially if those guys have a grinding match which I suspect they will.
