Anton Dimitrov Def. Max Botti 7-6(3) 4-6 6-4
Omg what a match. Max played really well. We both hit a lot of winners (69-49) and aces (12-18) respectively.
In the first set i got seven break points, but he saved all but two of them with aces i think. In the first set I got off to a 5-2 lead but got overconfitent and it took until 5-6 before i held my serve again. In the tiebreak i got two minibreaks and held tough on my serve to win (7-3). He out aced me 8-3 but i out winnered him 32-18
In the second set there was only one break of serve and max converted it on his first chance which made me mad. we each hit 2 aces but he out winnered me 22-18
In the third set i was saved by my serving i hit 7 ace and got 80% of my serves in which is the only reason he didn't just crush me. I was getting fairly deep on his serve but everytime i got to 15-30 30-30 he would ace me. Finally i got to 5-4 30-40 and he double faulted which was a sad way to end the match. He out aced me 8-7 but i out winnered him 19-9.
Great match max and good luck in the future.
