In the first set of Rod Laver Arina, the two exchanged one break before entering the tiebreak, which was equal, but with a score of 5-5 Van de Zandshulp won two consecutive points and led in the result. Grigor answered appropriately in the second half, in which he did not give a single game to his opponent.

In the decisive third set, the Dutchman tried and pulled 5-2, as in 5- 3 had two consecutive matchballs on their own serve, but Dimitrov showed character and class to win two long playoffs (12 and 14 shots) and return the breakthrough, then 5-5 won in a marathon game, which went through 9 draws before to close the match on his own serve after two hours and 45 minutes of play.
