As a result, the Dane left nothing to be desired and won in 2:09 hours. In the 3rd round stands Jannik Sinner. After the narrow opening set (7:5) once morest Diego Schwartzman, the Italian clearly had the upper hand in rounds 2 and 3.
Americans prevail
Got off with a black eye Taylor Fritz. The American defeated the German Yannick Hanfmann in 3:01 hours in 5 sets. The game had already started on Monday, but was then interrupted in the 5th set due to the onset of darkness. On Tuesday, the continuation was not possible because of the rain.

But there he quickly pulled away to 4:0 and never gave up this lead. After 2:30 hours, Tiafoe’s victory was a fact.
