Both players encountered service troubles, as the match contained 12 breaks of serve, nine consecutive coming after 4-2 in the second set. The German held the edge in the tie-break, closing the decider by seven points to three. Kohlschreiber returned well, taking 28 of 44 second-service points from the Brazilian.
