Boyer-Damas Opener Set for Tight First Set in Vicenza

Tristan Boyer and Miguel Damas are set for a closely contested start when they meet at the Vicenza Challenger, with the opening set expected to extend to at least nine games. The matchup, scheduled as part of the clay-court event in Italy, is likely to feature sustained service holds and limited early separation between the two players.

Both players enter the contest with games suited to longer baseline exchanges, a factor that could make an early runaway unlikely. The first set is expected to be decided by narrow margins, potentially reaching 5-4 or beyond before either player can establish control of the match.
