Auger, who won the ABM Amro tournament in Rotterdam this year, was unable to get a grip on Van de Zandschulp’s tempo changes and deep returns for a long time. He lost a break lead in the first set, but won the tiebreak with solid play.
Auger won the second tiebreak after clearing the three match points and immediately surrendered his service in the third set. This time Van de Zandschulp did not let him escape.
