One set all, 4-6 7-6(6)

Aljaz came back from *2-5 and 4-6* (2 MPs) down in the TB to take it 8-6.

No breaks in the second set and neither on a great overall BP conversion rate. Aljaz 1/11 ( the first 6 BPs in that initial break he had ) and Bellucci 2/10.

Over 2 hours so far ...

That was a horrifically bad final set from Bellucci, but I'm sure Aljaz won't mind the donation.

Aljaz wins 4-6 7-6(6) 6-1

Served out another game to love while winning at least 14 points in a row and broke again to take the match.

L16: (ALT) Aljaz Bedene WR 105 beat Thomaz Bellucci (BRA) WR 71 4-6 7-6(6) 6-1

Either Donaldson or Tiafoe next, which is in the middle of the first set.

Yes, I had a brief look when that points run was going and Bellucci looked all over the place. Fine with me

Next round should be easier on paper, I am pretty sure Aljaz beat Donaldson at this event last year in either the quarters or semis. Aljaz definitely seems to enjoy playing here.

QF: (Alt) Aljaz Bedene WR 105 v Jared Donaldson (USA) WR 93(CH 91 in Feb)

H2H 1-0 - theemptyvessel is right, their only previous meeting was in last year's semis here, when Aljaz, then ranked 51 and seeded 4, beat Donaldson, then ranked 158, 4 & 3. There were almost as many break points in that match as there were in the match against Bellucci today (26 today)
