At this Stage
Four sets, four tiebreaks — apparently no other way of settling anything on Court 5 — and Damm took three of them, which is the whole story of a 3h 48m arm-wrestle. The towering American's 28 aces and 79 winners came bundled with 60 errors, but with each man converting exactly one break point all day, the shootouts were always going to decide it. Hard on Trungelliti, who at 36 had become one of the Open Era's oldest top-100 debutants this year, and who was the steadier man by most measures except the one that counted. Damm's next stop was 25th seed Arthur Rinderknech in the last 64, where the serving duel went the Frenchman's way in straight sets.
