The biggest upset of the first round in Hamburg came from Emil Ruusuvuori, who defeated third-seeded Diego Schwartzman in straight sets. The match was decided after more than two hours of breathless play by both players in one of the round’s ties. Ruusuvuori defeated Schwartzman in a baseline duel thanks to his dominating performance and size. For almost the entire opening set, Ruusuvuori was in the lead. He broke early, but despite that, he was unable to serve out the set at 5-4. However, Schwartzman’s revival was just momentary as the Emil won the match 7-5 after converting on his second set point. In the second set, Schwartzman took control by forcing errors off Ruusuvuori’s racket, taking a 2-1 advantage. But as soon as the score reached 3-3, Ruusuvuori took complete command. On match point, Schwartzman’s lob was ultimately judged long, giving Ruusuvuori the victory.
In a tough three-hour baseline fight against Dusan Lajovic, Lorenzo Musetti grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat in one of the longest best-of-three matches of 2022. When faced with two match points on his serve in the second set of the Hamburg Open, the Italian Next Gen star was on the verge of an early exit. He overcame that obstacle, nonetheless, and won against all odds. Due to the fact that both players swapped the first two sets in tiebreaks, the margins of win and defeat were once more extremely slim. After failing to hold his serve in the second game, Lajovic was the only player to falter in the final. When he served for the match after saving two break-back points, Musetti would next need to display some admirable fortitude. The 20-year-old won his first match since winning the Forli Challenger at the beginning of June, breaking a four-match losing streak.
