Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve Ch R2: Gauthier Onclin [Q] def. Ernests Gulbis [LL] 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-3 mid-match stats (3rd set)

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

Although the double-fault in the first set could be costly for the next set's rhythm, Onclin's composure helped him navigated the other two sets. The ability to figure out the return and staying stable were something else, in which the stats (until that point) resonated with.

Gulbis might have scored 13 aces with winning 83% of his points from his first serves. However, the second serves looked non-existent, as Onclin won 25% more points from his second serves. Onclin might have gone after Gulbis' second serves with that return, and by adding more pressure, subtly contributed to Gulbis' 4 double faults.

The return variety in Onclin, even coming up with a decent, accurate response to Gulbis' underarm serve, did him wonders in this match. There were occasions where Gulbis had limited options to response, and even when trying to utilize the angles for winners. On the other hand, several successful volleys were noticed from Onclin to close a rally, adding the net game to the mix when it fit. As a result, he was able to convert two-thirds of his break points.

Onclin will then face Kaichi Uchida, who earlier defeated Jozef Kovalik 7-6, 6-1. Looking at the possible path, this would look doable for Onclin to make a run as a qualifier in his home soil, but it is worth following what is going to happen. The potential is right there, just hone it and keep moving forward.

Back to Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve for this time being...

Onclin stayed composed throughout the third set, surviving the scare of several break and even match points. And he convincingly took the set (and match) with more variety in his returns.

In the middle of the third set, Gulbis missed a volley to close a rally to create Onclin's break point. That point was converted at the expense of Gulbis' forehand error, resulting in Onclin breaking at 4-3. Onclin further consolidated his lead at 5-3.

Although there were hiccups in the fourth game, Onclin eventually broke for the match after converting his last match point. While one of the the previous match points was notably saved because of Onclin's forehand error, Gulbis' double fault created another match point for Onclin, which was converted at the expense of Gulbis' forehand error.

While a recap will follow, there is an update from the Quimper doubles match...
