Gianluca La Vela beat Simone D'Agostino 6-1, 6-3 in Biella, and the match was decided entirely on return. La Vela was never taken to a break point across his eight service games, while D'Agostino faced seven and dropped three of them.
The opening set ran away from D'Agostino once La Vela broke in game four for 3-1, and a second break in game six closed it out at 6-1. The second set stayed level until game seven, where La Vela broke for 4-3, then broke again in game nine to finish it 6-3.
The standout number is the serve-holding split: La Vela won all eight of his service games, D'Agostino only four of seven. D'Agostino actually struck five aces to La Vela's one, but he also hit four double faults and landed just 49% of first serves, and he did not earn a single break point all match.
