A gritty 3–6, 7–6 (7–5), 6–3 victory kept Milotay’s May run going after he stared down defeat late in the second set. Down 4–5 and facing match point, he delivered a bold kicker serve to the backhand, won a bruising 21-shot rally to reach deuce, and then dominated the tiebreak before carrying the momentum into the third with an early break. “He refused to go away,” said his opponent. “That changed everything.”
