The Aussie got going right away, although he didn’t have a break point in either of the first two sets, he did convert one of one in the first set and one of seven break points in the second to go up 2-0. De Mianur performed admirably in the third set as well, breaking in the opening game, but he battled to serve out the match at 5-3 as Broady won two straight games to even the score. The Australian player won 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 after saving four break points and converting a fourth match point in the 11th game to regain his one break edge.

Following his victory on Friday, the world no. 43 increased his season record to 15-15. He took a two sets to one lead after breaking Brooksby twice in the first set and twice in the second set. The Chilean player won the fourth set and the match by 6-2, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 after Brooksby comeback in the third set. De Minaur has a perfect record against Garin with his most recent victory coming in Eastbourne this year.
