Mark Lajal vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo — R128 — Cincinnati Open

The breaks came in a pair, both in the opening game of a set. Cerundolo never gave up a look at his own serve, holding all nine service games and winning 21 of 24 first-serve points, while Lajal saved five of seven and still took none of his nine return games. Total points split 55-54. That is what 1h 22m looks like when the Argentine — 2-3 on hard this season, and the market's narrow underdog against the qualifier — wins only the games that decide sets.
