Alexander Blockx vs Flavio Cobolli — R32 — Cincinnati Open

The third set turned in game 9, Cobolli breaking back for 4-5 after Blockx had moved ahead for 5-3, then turned once more in game 11, a second break for 6-5 that closed out the No. 28 seed's afternoon. Between two players who split 215 points 111-104, the second serve did the separating: Cobolli won 58 percent of his second-serve points against 44 for Blockx, and took 29 of 52 return points against the Blockx second ball. The 80 percent first-serve rate on the other side came bundled with seven double faults. Two hours and 28 minutes, a second straight decider this week, and the seventh seed moves into the Cincinnati round of 16.
