Berrettini & Zhang Return; Cilic & More Also In Action! ｜ Hangzhou 2025 Day 2 Highlights.

Like he was never away. What a start. Smart play from last year's finalist. Great comeback from Bout. But this time, he makes the breakthrough. And what a set for young Chao Kete Bout. What a time to throw in your third double full. A gift. Triple Z is back in the spotlight. And back in the match. That's brilliant from Bout. Final set. Two hours and 23 minutes. A thrilling action. But the first serve lands. Too good. And he's done just that. Triple Z is back with a bang. Six months after he last appeared on the tour. Seven since he won a match. Oh, what a finish. Not only a break, but a break to love. Forced to come in. It's another love game. This one going the way of Cilic. And it's a break, which means first set to the defending champion. Came good, however. It's too long. And Basavareddy makes his breakthrough. Beauty. A high degree of difficulty on that drop shot, first of all. Races through it indeed. Does Basavareddy. Oh, what a volley. Incredible from Cilic. Got to get a bit of guidance there before that return. As to what to do. Stay back. Wins were set down this year. A bit hard to come by for Nishash Basavareddy. But he gets one in Hangzhou. Happens to come against the defending champion as well. Oh, what a get. That is magnificent. Ah, yes. What a start. For Dalibor Svecina of Czechia, who wasn't even supposed to be playing this match. Well played, because he was caught in a slightly awkward spot. And there is the break. An awkward ball. Brilliant. Wonderful defense from Svecina. Magnificent. Absolutely brilliant from Svecina. Never mind top 100. He's playing top 10 tennis at the moment. He very nearly, very nearly made it. Not even the Czech can get to that one. Oh, it's there. Off the net. A bit of luck to finish, but the rest was all skill. What a victory for the lucky loser. That is brilliantly struck. Very well played. The off backhand. Tremendous hit. The angle. A very polished set of tennis from Italy's Giulio Zeppieri. It's just wide. And there is the breakthrough for the Italian. Sun showing. He can hit the ball too. Oh, an incredible shot. To keep his hopes alive of not falling too. Breaks a drift. What a hit. Magnificent. What a point. Arguably the point of the match. Sealed fittingly with an ace. His tenth of the match. Giulio Zeppieri coming back from wrist surgery last season. And on the march back up the rankings. That was another consummate display. It's put away comfortably. To get the break. Oh, he's made that. Too good. The forehand. Comes unstuck from Joomhoer. Blocked that. That's very, very nice. No hesitation. Oh, but then he's missed that when he had the chance. Maybe caught in two minds as to what to do. But not the second. A very sharp set played by Tomas Martini-Echeverry. A little help from the top of the tape. Oh, too good. That's where his height helped him. Not once but twice. Excellent work on that forehand. His turn to use the drop. No, it's wide. And it's a win. Number 20 this season for Tomas Martini-Echeverry. He's picking up steam now.
