Aleksandar Kovacevic and Rei Sakamoto: Rei Sakamoto leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Rei Sakamoto, ranked #164 and winless in his last five completed matches, knocked out the #92 Aleksandar Kovacevic by winning 77% of his second-serve points to Kovacevic's 39% — a 38-point gap that decided everything the first serves didn't. Kovacevic broke back in game four of the second set to level it, but the third went to a tiebreak with no breaks, where a match point came and went before Sakamoto closed it 9-7. He also kept the error column clean: 12 unforced to Kovacevic's 30. Daniil Medvedev is next.
