Result

Ignacio Buse, the 31st seed, recovered from a first-set tiebreak loss to beat Emilio Nava 7–6(3) 3–6 7–5 6–0 in a shade under three hours on Court 4. Buse's control told the story: just 13 unforced errors to Nava's 38, and he converted six of nine break points, including a bagel fourth set. Nava out-aced Buse 10 to 1 and hit more winners (44 to 28), but the wild margins cost him — Buse won 132 points to 109.

At this Stage

Nava hit more aces and more winners — and lost, which tells you where this match was actually decided. Buse, the 31st seed, arrived with the sharper grass credentials, having upset Stefanos Tsitsipas in Mallorca the week before, and made the tidier case: barely a third of the American's unforced errors, plus a fourth-set bagel to close out in four. A seed's job done, no more and no less. In the last 64 came Jenson Brooksby, straight-sets winner over Aleksandar Vukic, and there the Peruvian's tournament ended emphatically.
