US Open: Andreas Seppi is also in the third round

The first set was relatively even, with Devvarman Seppi taking serve to make it 1:3. But the Kalterer player was wide awake and managed the rebreak straight away. When the score was 3:3, Seppi broke again, but the qualifier hit back and equalized to 4:4. The two then held their serve until the end of the first set, which is why it was decided in a tie-break. There the Kalterer finally prevailed with 10:8 after four missed set points and ended the first set in his favor after 67 minutes played.

In the second set, Seppi also received a break to make it 114-2 against number 3 in the ATP world rankings. However, the Überetscher took revenge immediately and made it 3:3. Afterwards, every point was fought for on the pitch. After 40 minutes, Andreas Seppi finally converted the first set point to make it 6:4, after he had once again stolen the serve from Devvarman to make it 5:4.

In the third set, the Kalterer team pulled away to 4:1. But the Indian didn't want to admit defeat yet, caught up with Seppi and finally took the lead 5:4. Seppi then fended off five set points, then won three games in a row and was the winner after two hours and 40 minutes.

In the third round against Denis Istomin
