After losing the first set Kopřiva won the second set thanks to a single break and, in the third set, he broke his opponent’s serve three times. What did he say after the match?
“It was extremely hard. It’s a pity I didn’t win the first set but I kept fighting and I never ceased believing I had a chance. I had the upper hand in the third set: I was leading 4:1 and I have to admit I was luckier in the end.” Kopřiva is to clash the winner of the match featuring Torebko vs. the second seeded Ramos-Vinolas for the advance to the quarter final.
