After Frenchman Terence Atman withdrew at the start of the fourth set of the first round, Medvedev advanced to the second round, where his opponent was Finnish Emil Ruusuvuori. The Russian gave his serve from the start of the match and that was enough for the Finn to win the set, as he held his serve calmly.

Likewise, Medvedev lost his serve at the start of the second set, but then reversed the trend with his two breaks and led 5-3. However, he failed to serve for the match and subsequently lost 3 set points to Ruusuvuori, who leveled the score and took the set to a tiebreak, which he then won quite easily 7- 1.

On cue, Medvedev raised his game and won the third set 6-4. Then there was a tough fourth game, which ended in a tiebreaker and this time Medvedev won 7-1.

This ultimately turned the situation in favor of the Russian. In the fifth set, Mededev destroyed his opponent 6-0 and completed his comeback. Final score – 3-6, 6-7 (1-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-1), 6-0.

Auger-Aliassime defeated Dominic Thiem early in the TBS in a five-hour thriller – 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5-7), 5-7, 6:3. Then, in the second round, the opponent was easier. Félix beat Frenchman Hugo Grenier 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.
