During the match, Raonic took early control of a point with a monstrous forehand down the line that left Dutra Silva reeling at the back of the court, but Dutra Silva showed amazing skill to retrieve the ball back and then also returned Raonic's smash right after that. Raonic then made a forehand crosscourt approach on the wide open court, but Dutra Silva came up with a forehand pass at full stretch, which brought the crowd to their feet.
