After that, he won five grenades in his Russian counterpart, and gained a winning edge in 37 minutes. The second set lasted for about an hour and Babos also led to 4: 1 this time. But Kaszatkina caught the Hungarian at 5: 5. The latter, on the other hand, was better off with the end game, and with a new pair he offset his setback.

"I enjoy Picin so much that I have not managed again, I talked about it before. Again I met a top player and I had a chance to get going," Babos said. He admitted, "It's not easy to do this, stay here for the couple," but still feels motivated to continue. The meeting lasted 2 hours 22 minutes.
