Huge first set 1: 6 to Zuckerman
The Israeli opened well and with a lot of confidence on the way to0: 1 After he applied pressure on his opponent with the first serve and finished the game with a handsome winner from the puhend. Marchenko was completely out of the question, got into two break points against Zuckerman, who took advantage of another uncommitted mistake by his local opponent and broke to0: 2 Already in the opening. Next we got a perfect tennis of the rated 799, which left the Ukrainian on 0: 3 After once again lightly maintaining his submissions with the help of powerful tennis and lots of agility in the return strokes, he found an answer to every ball hit to him.
The momentum in the Israeli continued, Zuckerman returned to 40:40 and continued for another break, which can give him a lot of peace to continue the campaign with 0: 4 dreamlike. 0: 5 Resounding, Marchenko just does not know what to do, misses a lot of balls and tries unsuccessful drop-shots, but the Israeli deserves all the appreciation for very stable and good tennis in the first set. Worked hard the Ukrainian and after breaking twice managed to take first point in the game, 1: 5 To a guest from Israel. It was a little harder, the Israeli college player got into 30:30, but once again raised the bar in front of his frustrated opponent and closed interest on the way to1: 6.
Act II
Marchenko did not come to Kiev, this time he made two double errors and Zuckerman, who as I recall needs one more set to win (the best of three) broke to0: 1, When he left the Ukrainian on the 0. Marchenko is very frustrated, the stubborn Zuckerman returns every ball, the desperate local tennis player hits out, gets caught up in2: 0 And “for dessert” threw the bat on the surface.
