2. Prajnesh Gunneswaran v Denis Shapovalov, Stuttgart Open
Prajnesh Gunneswaran qualified for his first ATP World Tour event at Stuttgart after winning his qualifier. A maiden Challenger title earlier made sure he could compete for a place in the main draw. He faced Denis Shapovalov, who burst on the the scenes when he reached Round 4 of the US Open in 2017.
A good player at juniors himself, Gunneswaran found himself playing a player 9 years younger, but ranked 23rd. It might've brought back the painful memories of his injury struggles that prevented his senior career from blooming at the right time. He showed that he'd put that behind when he broke the Canadian in the very first game.
Prajnesh broke yet again after his opponent tied things up. But, he gave a break when serving for the set, eventually winning it in the tie-break 8-6. However, he was destroyed 2-6 in the second set.
The Chennaite then raced ahead to a 4-0 lead in Set 3. He was broken back once but held his nerve to serve out the match. With that, he completed a shock Top-30 victory.
