The set was even with both players refusing to concede anything to the opposition. Eventually, the only discrepancy was one break that the Dane grabbed in the 5th game (3-2) prior to eventually winning the set (6-4).

The Dane was clinical in converting the only break point that he conquered in the 5th game (2-2 15-40). On the other side, Alexei was flawless in converting all his break points in the 2nd (1-1 40-A, 40-A, 40-A and 40-A), the 4th (2-1 0-40, 15-40, 30-40 and 40-A) and the 10th game (4-5 0-40, 15-40 and 30-40).

They played 86 points. It’s worth to point out that, Holger won this set even if he scored less points 2 than Alexei (42-44

). The Dane lost 22 points on serve (32-22). on the other side of the net, the Australian conceded 10 points on serve (22-10).
