Ovidiu Ionescu entered his meeting with Jesus Cantero seeded 18 positions above the Spaniard and was the considerable favourite to prevail, but the end result couldn’t have been further from reality. Leading from start to finish, Cantero cut a composed figure throughout and emerged the deserved winner across the five games (11-7, 12-10, 10-12, 11-9, 11-5).
