bett1HULKS Championship: Egor Gerasimov (BLR) - Daniel Altmaier (GER) 6-1 6-0

German wildcard Dennis Altmaier was almost swept by Belarus qualifier Egor Gerasimov. I just saw the second set – the match was definitely not as clear as the score may suggest – but finally, Altmaier was weaker in any deciding moment. Thus, Gerasimov’s workshift on the first tournament day was definitely shorter than he could expect – his second round match against first week finalist Felix Auger-Alliassime (Canada) will definitely be a tougher one.
