Alex Molcan and Daniel Altmaier: Alex Molcan leads 3–0 across 3 recorded meetings.
Only the ATP rankings made this an upset. Alex Molcan came in 41 spots below Daniel Altmaier yet sat at 55 percent with the betting market off a 2-0 series lead, and the match ran exactly that tight: 93 points won to 91 across 2 hours, 24 minutes. Molcan broke twice in the third, in games 4 and 6 for 5-1, though Altmaier — 8 aces to 5 on the day — broke back in game 7 and saved three match points before a fourth finally landed. The win, Molcan's third over Altmaier since April including Wimbledon three weeks ago, sends him into the Kitzbühel Open quarterfinals.
