Adam Walton vs Ignacio Buse — R64 — Cincinnati Open

Sixty-four ATP ranking places and a No. 29 seed counted for nothing in Cincinnati, where the betting market had already made the man ranked 97th the 57 percent pick. Buse held six of nine service games while Walton lost three points on first serve all match, 32 of 35. Walton broke for 4-2 in game 6 of each set, and the seed's only answer came straight back, in game 7 of the opener. Buse won 62 percent behind his second serve to Walton's 32 and still trailed on points 55-45; the winner, 4-9 on hard courts coming in, needed 70 minutes to reach the round of 32.
