The game started with a setback for Daniil Medvedev, who lost his first set of the tournament against Marton Fucsovics. The Hungarian played cleverly and made an early break (2:1), which he took to make it 6:4.
Medvedev coped better as a result and used his only break opportunity in the second round, which ultimately gave him the equalizer.
The match remained tight, but the Russian broke Fucsovics’ service again early (1-0) and thus had the decisive advantage on his side.

Alcaraz has to work hard against Jarry
Carlos Alcaraz had to solve a tricky task in only the 14th grass match of his career. Opponent Nicolás Jarry, 28th in the world rankings, currently higher than ever, bravely defied the Spaniard.

Tsitsipas in three sentences this time
Stefanos Tsitsipas was well recovered after his more than four-hour crime thriller against Andy Murray and less than 24 hours later beat Laslo Djere from Serbia 6: 4, 7: 6 (7: 5), 6: 4.
It was anything but an easy walk for the Greek, who wobbled, especially in the second set.
Djere was already leading 3-1, but gave up the lead. In the tie-break it was Tsitsipas who just barely got the upper hand. After two hours and eleven minutes, the 24-year-old had the round of 16 ticket in his hand.
