For the majority of the set, neither player came close to a breakpoint. The American got a set point at 6-5 with his opponent serving to stay in the set, but he couldn’t capitalize on it. The first set then entered a tie-break. Despite Thompson gaining an early 5-2 advantage, the 20-year-old claimed the next five points to seal the set. The second set was quickly underway with Thompson leading 3-0. This time, he prevented his opponent from making a comeback and quickly won the set. In the sixth game of the third set, Nakashima gained the crucial break to go 4-2 up, thereby putting an end to the contest. He won 7-6(5), 3-6, 6-3 in the end.
John Millman was originally scheduled to participate in the Atlanta Open qualifying rounds, but a few withdrawals allowed him to gain a straight admission into the main draw. In the first round, he faced battle against fellow countryman Alexei Popyrin to begin his campaign. As the first set entered a tie-break, neither player managed to break the other’s service. In the tie-break, John Millman won seven straight points to win the set. Popyrin was able to win the second set and force a deciding with just one service break. With three straight victories to go up 3-0, Millman made a solid start to the third set. With Popyrin unable to overturn this disadvantage, the 33-year-old won 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-3.
