In the three-sentence thriller, Seppi has the longest breath

In the first set, Seppi received a break to make it 1:2, but was able to equalize immediately with a rebreak. With the score at 4:2, the Kalterer man managed another break and secured the first set in the last service game. The Bosnian then clearly won the second set. Seppi was broken twice in a row when the score was 1:2, the rest was just a formality for Dzumhur. He played all his service games confidently and safely converted his first set point to make the score 1:1. Exciting finish demands everything In the third, decisive set, neither of the two wanted to make a mistake, which is why the service games were played for a long time. It wasn't until the score was 3:3 that the first nerves began to fray: Unfortunately for the Kalterer, it was his own, because the 35-year-old allowed a break. After that it got really exciting: After Dzumhur got through his own serve game, he almost managed the break to make the final score 6:3. But Seppi fought back and things continued. The Kalterer player turned up the heat and confidently took the break to 5:5. When he also made the game 6:5, he suddenly had the advantage, but Dzumhur didn't let up either and it went to a tiebreak. Although defeat was initially looming, Seppi, who was 8 years older, turned the score from 2:5 to 5:5, fended off another match point and converted his first match point to make it 8:6. For an almost 36-year-old (Seppi's birthday is February 21st), the Kalterer has shown remarkable endurance. In the round of 16, Seppi will face the winner of tomorrow's duel between Americans Steve Johnson and Tennys Sandgren.
