Cazaux Edges Out Buse in a Thriller at Kitzbühel

Arthur Cazaux and Juan Ignacio Buse faced off in the first round of Kitzbühel this Tuesday. Both players came in strong, having reached the semifinals in Gstaad.

They benefited from Special Exempt status to enter the main draw in Kitzbühel. The match started well for Cazaux, as he took the first set 6-3.

But Buse managed to level the match, pushing the duel into a decisive third set. In the final set, the first break point didn’t come until the twelfth game.

That crucial break point went in Cazaux’s favor—and also served as match point, which the Frenchman successfully converted.

Cazaux clinched the victory 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 and will next face Francisco Comesana.
