The Croatian tennis player lost the first set 6:3 and began his second set in much better form. After taking the lead of 4:2, he lost his serve and things got complicated. He won the second set only in a tie-break and won 7:6.

He won the third set with a result of 6:4. In the exhausting match, Veic had four aces, while Korolev had seven. Both tennis players had an average percentage of their first serves. The Croatian had 57 percent and Korolev 51 percent.
