Mattia Bellucci def. Zachary Svajda 7(7)-6(0), 7(7)-6(4) — Cincinnati Open 2026 R128

Match recap

Mattia Bellucci defeated Zachary Svajda 7(7)-6(0), 7(7)-6(4) in the R128 of the Cincinnati Open 2026.

The second serve was the entire margin. Bellucci won 20 of 27 points behind his while Svajda took only 14 of 34 behind his own, which is how a match that split the games 12-all with one break apiece still finished 89 points to 80. The left-hander's lone break came in game 7 of the opener, for 3-4, and he never needed a second. Svajda saved six match points and out-struck him 24 winners to 21, and none of it reached the games column; two hours and four minutes in, the 25-year-old Italian — 2-7 on hard coming into Cincinnati — ends a three-match losing run and banks his first win since Halle in June.
