Learner Tien and Gael Monfils: Learner Tien leads 2–0 across 2 recorded meetings.
The decider turned on a break handed straight back. Gael Monfils broke to open the third for 1-0 and lost serve immediately in game 2 for 1-1, the error ledger that had all but disappeared in the second set — four unforced — swelling to 20 in the third, where Learner Tien broke again in game 6 for 4-2. The No. 12 seed lost the total points count 91-90 and came through anyway, ending a two-match slide dating to Wimbledon. He needed a second match point, 2 hours and 1 minute in, and draws Tommy Paul (No. 21) next.
