In the second game, Sobolenko won 3:1, but Nick made a comeback and won the match in two sets.

Everyone had only one attempt to serve – without a second ball.

It is also worth noting that the part of the court on which Sobolenko played was reduced by 9%. Despite this, Arina still couldn’t keep up with the shots of Kyrios, who was already playing at half strength.
