Way to go, Felix!
I was worried about Marin Cilic late in the match. In the beginning, he was sweating profusely and dripping all over the court. Near the end, he was sweating much less, his hair was dry, and I saw him stumble at least twice on the service line. It looked like the heat was getting to him, yet, many of his shots were still blazing. I hope he was okay.
He’s a pretty big sweater, in general.
It’s not the hitting of the ball where it gets to them, it’s the in between.
