Matija Grad vs Benjamin Redek

The scoreboard said 6-3, 7-5, but the story is older than that: Matija Grad has now beaten Benjamin Redek in both of their career meetings, and Benjamin still hasn't figured out the plot. First season clash between the two, and Grad wrote the script — steady serving, patient rallies, and the ruthless closing of that second set while Redek's nerves melted at 5-5. This one matters at the top. Grad (45 points) leapfrogs the picture and keeps Edi Januš (#3, 49) within reach, while Redek (#5, 43) now watches Grad pull away instead of hunting him. Careful, Matija — Matevž Sever sits untouchable at 57 with a perfect 19-0. Beat that first.
