The winner of the game, which ended after two hours and 51 minutes 6:7 (3:7), 6:2, 7:6 (7:5) in favor of the South American Nicolas Jarry, could also have been Stan Wawrinka. The 38-year-old Romand had the opportunity in the third set to end the game with his own service when the score was 5:4.

Instead, he had to allow Jarry, who is number 21 in the world rankings 39 places ahead of him, to equalize without winning any points of his own. In the decisive tiebreak, Jarry, who missed a first match point in the 12th game, was always in the front.
