Thiem Faces Lestienne; Garin and Topo Tussle | Munich 2023 Day 2 Highlights

What a great start. Tiddlish disguise. Well done. Yeah, like an arrow to his mark. That was vintage team. And there it is. Dominic Thiem breaks for the fourth time. Oh, there it is. Don't see that shot too often at the moment. Quickly snuffed out. Well, that's a real surprise. It's a position he'll look to be as much as possible. Nicely taken. He is athletic. There we go. Made it for the first time. Claims it with a second ace. This time it's the German with the big strike. But he does claim the game. Missive forehand again. So there's his move. A semi-finalist here last year. A rare win this year. But Oscar Otter, the man who's into the second round and takes out the fifth seed in some style. 6-3, 7-5. The towering German. Certainly outplaying the Argentinian in this encounter. Oh, straight back on it. And there's the forehand brought in beautifully by Edmund. Charging in, but just putting it right back on Hussler's racket. That'll do. Caught hold of that cleanly. That is Edmund at his best there. Suddenly a big return. How well Kyle has done. Well played. That's a big forehand there. That is very smart. Right into the wheelhouse. Great dropping from Kyle. It is a welcome win for the Swiss number one. Hasn't had much to write home about this year so far. But that'll go in the book as a three-set win for him. Back with a bang. That is some statement at the start. He gives it a ride and smacks it into the corner. The teenager stopped briefly, just looking to see whether that mark was wide. Oh, yeah, just the way. A positive intent at the start of an all-important game. Only the third point in 13 he's managed to win behind the second serve. But that is the one that completes the task of winning the opening set. Garin ahead. After 40 minutes, 6-4. Well, that was some rally. And it is Garin. Hammers it past him again. Can't come in with that and get away with it when Garin's locked on. Soft hands, silky skills from the Chilean. He's done in straight sets, but looking far more comfortable at the end than he did at the start of this encounter when Toppo charged out of the blocks at him. Played some really good tennis. That acknowledges ultimately he was outplayed by the more experienced man. And it is Garin who prevails in that one.
