While the battle began in the first set (7-6 to the American), it continued into the next set.
Indeed, at 1-0, 15-40 on Etcheverry's serve, the two men delivered a true rally for the spectators present on site. And after 32 shots and a beautifully executed drop shot by the Argentine, McDonald stretched to come and finish the point.
