At this Stage
Not the way anyone draws it up, but they all count the same. Mérida controlled most of this one behind the match's decisive weapon — 13 aces to three on a 73 percent first-serve day — before Ugo Carabelli, who had taken the third set to get on the board, stopped early in the fourth, unable to continue. A first-round win by retirement still opens the same door, and behind this one stood the section's headline name: eighth seed Daniil Medvedev, who had just routed Marin Čilić, waiting in the last 64. Mérida took the opening set off him there, too, before the seed pulled clear in four.
