Number two in Brazil, and currently 86th in the world rankings, Thiago Monteiro had no trouble beating Coria (69th). In the first set, the Brazilian made a break and went 3/0 up. Accurate in service and with good answers, Monteiro managed to confirm all his serves, as well as always disturbing his opponent’s serves. The native of Ceará nevertheless made another break at the end of the set to open 5/1 and then close the set.
The script remained the same in the second half, with Monteiro nearly hitting Corio’s first serve. The match then became balanced and was tied at 3/3. However, the Brazilian responded well and broke his opponent’s serve twice in a row, closing at 6/3. Finally, the highlight was the fact that Thiago Monteiro did not give the Argentine any chance to interrupt his serves during the match.
