Zachary Svajda vs Mattia Bellucci — R128 — Cincinnati Open

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.
