For the Teutonic there will be a challenge in the second round with the British Jack Draper.
In the first set Passaro runs into trouble serving in the third game, when he goes down 0-30: the blue recovers to 30-30, but then loses the next two points and gives up the serve. In the sixth game the blue goes 0-30 in response, but the Teutonic scores four consecutive points and goes 4-2. In the tenth game Molleker serves for the set, goes up 40-15, gets the advantage, but on the third occasion closes the score at 6-4 in 35 minutes.
In the second game the road immediately becomes uphill for the Italian tennis player, who loses serve at fifteen in the opening. The Teutonic never concedes the ball for the counterbreak, indeed in the seventh game he breaks Passaro again, this time at thirty, taking a heavy 5-2 lead. Molleker goes to serve for the match, concedes the first break point of the match, but cancels it, and then goes on to win by 6-2 after 34 minutes.
