Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Nuno Borges — R128 — Canadian Open

Break-point conversion decided it. Nuno Borges cashed 3 of 8 chances to Aleksandar Kovacevic's 1 of 5 and out-aced the American 16-4, margins that made the lost opener — Borges broke for 6-5 in game 11, then dropped the tiebreak — a detour. Set two flipped the match. Kovacevic's first-serve points won sank from 79 percent to 53 with five double faults, and from there he went 0 for 3 on break points against a Portuguese serve that held 14 of 15 games all match. Kovacevic won 90 percent of first-serve points in the third yet never earned a look. Twenty hours, 29 minutes after the first ball, Borges converted his second match point to break for 6-4 in game 10 — Kovacevic had saved the first.
