A comeback in the second race

The day after his convincing victory against Germany’s Alexander Zverev, the tournament’s No. 1 seed earned the break in the seventh game of the first set. He had much more difficulty in the second, even conceding double break points, before lining up five games in a row to win.

Coric is reassured
