In the first set, Ymer, who was zeroed in, showed bad mood, idle talk with the referee, and broke a racket, among other things. It started badly in the second also and the Swede was broken immediately but then he worked his way into the match and took it to tiebreak.
Ymer went up 3-1 in the tiebreak but lost the initiative where long duels from the baseline dominated the game. 29-year-old Stebe, who suffered numerous injuries during his career and ranked in 213rd place, went up to 6-4 and acquired two match balls. Ymer saved the first with a distinct backhand.
On the second match ball, Ymer struck a forehand a few inches wide and after hawkeye the players were able to thank for the match.
