What a passing shot from Blockx!

Incredible reaching BH winner on break point for Sinner.

Jodar gets the short return on the serve but it bounces high and he misjudges it which gives Sinner an inch. And that's all the Italian needs.

@TennisFan_1985 @BenRothenberg Next year the tournaments after Paris count towards the following year's finals. So they've fixed one problem at least 👍

A title to break the tie with Roger 🏆🤝

Novak Djokovic breaks another record after winning Athens. 🤩

#HellenicChampionship

@TheTennisLetter All playing so well too. Annoyed to have to just pick one.

[The Baseline Breakdown @BaselineBreak]

Musetti breaks and then from 40-0 up on his own serve drops his level and gets broken. Including a horrendous miss on game point with the court at his mercy. Double faults the 3rd break point and now is in trouble.

@BenRothenberg He's busting a lung out on court today. Hard to believe he'll be in any shape to play again Monday for the ATP finals.

Novak in front 🙌

@DjokerNole
takes command of the #HellenicChampionship final after securing a break in the third set 👌

Edition 5 of The Baseline Breakdown is up!

[The Baseline Breakdown @BaselineBreak]

That match point was Sinner defined. Slowly pushing his opponent into the corner, waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger on the down the line winner.
Sinner knew it was coming.
We knew it was coming.
Even Felix knew it was coming. And there was nothing he could do.

3/4 quarterfinals ending through retirement is a worry. Good thing the ATP didn't just expand the tour with another big money tournament.

FAA with 26 aces so far against Cilic
He's won 96% of first serve points and not faced a break point yet.

CPI at Basel hovering around 42/43
So in line with what we saw in north America this year.

@BenRothenberg Vacherot calmly outplaying Fritz at the moment.
