Despite the setback which made him lose a first where he displayed a very good level, Auger-Aliassime did not collapse and the match went in the same direction. Alcaraz gained in sensations, smiled more on the field, and even in the sixth game, he had the first point of Pause Match. But the Canadian held firm on the court, with very brave tennis, and not only kept his serve but also broke the Spaniard’s, leading 5-4 and not failing to serve to lead the match in the third set. .
Things couldn’t have started off worse for Carlitos Alcaraz who again lost serve early in the third quarter and found himself behind a raging rival on the lane. In the fourth game, which lasted almost a quarter of an hour, the Spaniard lost up to four chances to recover his serve and Aliassime’s morale exploded. Then the American made his second break on the Spaniard’s serve, an already insurmountable advantage.
After the draw after the two singles matches, the confrontation will be played in doubles, where in principle, and if there are no last minute changes, Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martínez will play for Spain against Vasik Pospisil and Augier-Aliassime.
