QR1: (qWC) Johannus Monday WR 243 (= CH) lost to (q8) Arthur Rinderknech (FRA) WR 81 (CH = 42 in October 2022) 6-7(2) 6-7(2)
JoMo was comfortable on serve all match, but there was a chasm between Arthur and JoMo in the tiebreaks. Two UEs on his first two serves gave him a mountain to climb in the second tiebreak against a powerful server.

An immaculate first set tiebreak by Henry, with strong returns of Bu's first serve on points 2 and 3 gave him the ascendancy, and an eventual 7-0 tiebreak
Henry recovers from 2-5 down in the second to force a second tiebreak, and comes from 1-3 down to take it 8-6 in front of delirious support - fine scalp!
