In the first game, the Czech did not leave much chance for Alexey – 6:1. The next set was dramatic and the longest. Krutykh led 4:1, then allowed the opponent to equalize, but still snatched victory on someone else’s serve – 7:5.
Foreitek had more strength left for the third set. He took Alexey’s first two serves, then saved break points three times in the fourth game. The Ukrainian returned to the game, fought back from two match points with the score 1:5, but still fought back to his opponent in the next play.
