The Prestige: A Highly Competitive Set
Fucsovics had made the quality of Auger-Aliassime disappear in the second set. He got off to an early lead yet again in the 3rd set. But, his opponent broke back in the very next game. He immediately broke serve again, but Felix bounced back yet again, breaking his rival's serve in the 7th game.
The match almost seemed like it would be decided in a tie-break when Aliassime went 30-15 up on serve in the 12th game. But Fucsovics used his power game to great effect to create a break point, albeit not converting. He got another break point, this time making full use with a purposeful move forward and landing his shot to complete a good victory.
Marton Fucsovics displayed all 3 components of a great magic trick, The Pledge, the Turn and the Prestige on the way to Round 2.
