Hesham dictated play in the 1st set with his booming serves (coupled with few Krygios-like slower ones for surprise) and didn’t let me get into a rhythm. The momentum shift happened in the 2nd set when I won an important game 0-2 and couple of break points down. 3rd set was also closely contested, thankfully for me I managed to grab a lead early and run with it.
