It was the seventh of the last 10 major finals they faced each other and continued one game in the first game until Shock broke through in the seventh game and made a fourth straight appearance.
The second set was even closer, with both players having more serves. With Hewett leading 6-5 with Oda, the Japanese players once again raised their level to knock it down and keep it level, which seemed destined to enter the tiebreak.

“I won here two years ago, and this game is different from other games, it’s so beautiful,” he said. “I’m really grateful for this moment.”
Meanwhile, Niels Vink won the Wimbledon four-pointer title by defeating Dutchman Sam Schroder 6-3 6-3 in Game 3.
The 22-year-old Vink first sowed the prize, adding the prize to the tag team championship he won with Guy Sasson.
