Hamad Medjedovic vs Sebastian Ofner — 1-6 6-2 4-6 6-3 6-4

Result

Sebastian Ofner recovered from a poor start to beat Hamad Medjedovic 1-6 6-2 4-6 6-3 6-4 in a nearly three-hour, five-set first-round battle. The Austrian was the more reliable server, hammering 30 aces to 13 and holding his double faults to four against Medjedovic's 12. Ofner's 59 winners and cleaner error count (25 to 45) proved decisive, with the breakthrough coming when he broke for a fifth time midway through the deciding set.

At this Stage

Five sets that kept changing their mind, decided by the one thing that never did: Ofner's serve. The Austrian lost the opener 1-6 and trailed again after three, but 30 aces, four double faults to Medjedovic's twelve and a far cleaner error count slowly turned a see-saw into a lean, the decisive break arriving midway through the fifth. Medjedovic will rue an opening set that promised so much more. Ofner's reward was a last-64 meeting with Hubert Hurkacz, fresh from removing 11th seed Casper Ruud — and there the Austrian's serve met a bigger one, Hurkacz winning in straight sets.
