In windy conditions that tested both players, Milotay edged through 7–6 (8–6), 6–4 by patiently extending rallies and waiting for the right moment to attack. The opening tiebreak saw him save a set point with a lob that clipped the baseline, while the decisive break in the second came after a 16-shot exchange ended with his opponent netting a tired forehand. “He handled the conditions better than anyone else today,” said organizer Drennan.
