Lopez was surprisingly accumulated, actually had expected Pablo Carreno Busta. And the Spanish veteran made a false start, making only 2 of the first 12 points. Edmund took the early break to the sentence guide.
In turn two, both players kept their serves, Edmund struggled at set 4: 5 and 15:40 at its own serve two set balls and sat down in the final tiebreak then early with 6: 1 from. The third match point, he finally used to lead his team.
