The match was marked by the lack of success of both tennis playerswith a total of 110 unforced errors in stark contrast to the meager 45 winners.
The same path followed the Swiss Stan Wawrinka, unfortunate in this return to the slopes after the surgery he underwent last year. He lost to Finn Emil Ruusuvuori in three sets (6-3, 3-6, 6-3).
The former world number three and champion of three majors is trying to regain his competitive level at the age of 37. He completed a good match but was unable to beat Finn Emil Ruusuvuori on hard court, the Finn’s specialty.

The American Jenson Brooksby beat Kazakh Alexander Bublik on the fast track in two sets (6-2 and 6-3), he only needed one hour and twenty-five minutes of play. The young man, only 21 years old, has maintained his good form after recently reaching the final of the Atlanta tournament.
