Shapovalov Takes On Bautista Agut; Opelka & Coric In Action | Washington 2024 Day 1 Highlights

That's seven and missing by quite a distance as well, Batista Agud. So Shapovalov, without having to do a great deal. It's always fighting a losing battle in that point. Batista Agud just couldn't quite get back to neutral. Oh, it's wonderful from Denis Shapovalov. What a recovery that was just before Wimbledon. That is such a good point from Denis Shapovalov, how nice it is to see him come forward and it's a really good hold. He's got it. And Shapovalov breaks. What a way to break again. It's a great point to get this match won for the Canadian Denis Shapovalov. And into the second round here in Washington, D.C., he goes. 15 laps. So in the end, there really was no other option, but to. Oh, that's beautiful. Game and first six set points. Do a huge amount with that approach of Helga, but Duckworth just couldn't quite get. Set up by a great return, a good depth on it. That's well done. Well, what a time to find the breakthrough. So at 1.30 in the morning, he's pulled off a few stunners today, as Riley Apelka. And it may well be Apelka makes the first move. That's well done. Holding your breath under the the bounce smash there. Neither of them have been too convincing. Ace number 27. Sees Riley Apelka through to the second round here in Washington. It's nicely done and just the right time. Oh, wow. That took some guts. And that one gets away from him as well. That's where he begins his eighth game from the line is. Oh, that's wild. He was able to take George's wide angle and come up with something better. Russovory. Oh, nifty pick up. Brilliant game. Oh, picked a target. Oh, well, the break goes to Russovory and he took it from George and a disappointing way to finish after the effort expended by both players for Portnicharge. He comes up short. A one cent lead. Not good enough to get past Emil Russovory as the fin comes back. Game. Karatsev. Deuce. Game. Karatsev. Game on first set. Garin. Game. Garin. Game. Garin. 40. 15. 15. Love. Game. Garin. Game. Second match. Garin. Two sets to love. 6-4, 6-2.
