In a tough match at the Swedish Open tournament, which lasted 2 hours and 16 minutes, V. Gaubas had a particularly difficult time in the first set tiebreak, where he managed to win only one point.
In the second set, the Lithuanian had gained an advantage by breaking his opponent’s serve, but in the eighth game J. De Jong managed to recover and break Gaubas’s serve, eventually winning the set on Gaubas’s serve.
For his performance in Sweden, the Lithuanian will receive 6,500 euros. The Dutchman who defeated him will continue playing against either Argentine Sebastian Baez (ATP-56) or Swede Max Dahlin (ATP-1360).
