Matteo Baratini's Performance in the First Set Was a Funny One
Baratini Alcaras beat Matteo Baratini in straight sets. It was an interesting match with sparks flying but it never caught fire. I did feel like Alcaras really got a grip on the Baratini serve as the match went along. There's a moment where Baratini falls over and Alcaras goes to the other side of the net to help him, which was innocent, genuine gesture. And there were a few moments where Alcaras hits around the net post shot and he starts hitting lobs and it just started to feel a bit fun. But that wasn't what Baratini wanted out there today.
