Playing at home is always great and an advantage, specially on a tense and long one as this\u201d, said 19-year old Wild.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very tense match, I did everything I could to win,\u201d said Fokina. \u201cI had some opportunities but didn\u2019t take advantage of that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very long match but it was a good practice to play at Roland Garros, because there I have to play five sets and here it was three. I fought till the end but couldn\u2019t win.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>The crowd villain<\/h4>\n<p>The crowd, unsurprisingly, was behind the Brazilian, who won the US Open boys\u2019 singles title in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard, a NextGen finalist, however, was cast in\u00a0the role of pantomime villain.<\/p>\n<p>Wild, the World No 206, started the match brilliantly, but the Davidovich Fokina\u2019s heavy use of drop shots began to pay off and when the Brazilian served for the first set at 5-4, he was broken to love.<\/p>\n<p>In the next game Davidovich Fokina used of an underarm serve, perhaps not his smartest move, and the crowd howled at him.<\/p>\n<p>He did go on to win the first set, but it made him enemy number one on the Rio show-court where, for the remainder of the match, the crowd cheered every winner from the racket of their man along with the unforced errors, double faults and anything else that the Spaniard did wrong.<\/p>\n<p>To his immense credit, Davidovich Fokina fought back when Wild served for the set and, at 6-5, he found himself with 3 match points to get out of the arena with a vital victory.<\/p>\n<p>Wild saved the first with a huge net cord, and the second with a well-executed one-two punch off the serve.<\/p>\n<h4>Forcing the decider<\/h4>\n<p>On the third, Davidovich Fokina charged forward to chase down a drop volley and almost dismantled the net, and himself, in the process, striking long in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Wild used the momentum to take an early lead in the tiebreak, and when Davidovich Fokina dumped a serve into the net, the Rio crowd exploded with delight.<\/p>\n<p>The 20-year-old Spaniard then threw in another underarm serve and although Wild complained to the umpire that he wasn\u2019t ready, the Brazilian managed to snatch the second to force a decider after almost 3 hours of play.<\/p>\n<p>That proved to be a see-saw affair, in keeping with the match, with the pair exchanging early breaks.<\/p>\n<p>With the crowd still firmly behind him, Wild hung tough to break decisively and sealed a famous win, just the second of his career at tour-level.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Meligeni falls to
