Martin Landaluce vs Jacob Fearnley — R128 — US Open

The bigger serve belonged to Landaluce, 16 aces at an average of 202 km/h, and it bought him nothing against a qualifier ranked 35 places below him. Thirteen double faults and 65 unforced errors came with those aces, and he was broken nine times in 24 service games; the betting market had leaned to the qualifier anyway, at 51 percent. Fearnley has never owned a free-points serve and wins off the return instead, which is exactly how the fifth went — 13 winners to four, with breaks in game 4 for 3-1 and game 6 for 5-1. Landaluce saved two match points before the end. The Edinburgh product, 2-5 on hard courts this season coming in, moves into the second round at the US Open.
