Igor had *2-1 lead in the first set after Levine saved 5 BPs. Levine had game point for 2-1 on serve but he double faulted twice to lose serve. Levine broke back immediately, then Kunitsyn served for the first set at *6-5 after Levine hit his 6th DF of the set, yet was broken. In the first set tiebreak, they traded early minibreaks; Levine took a *5-3 lead, Kunitysn then had set point at 6-*5 and *7-6, where he lost both service points. Levine himself then lost both service points at *8-7 and Kunitsyn won the first set.
Second set, Igor saved a BP in the first game, then broke immediately and got out to a 4-*1 lead. Levine then broke for 4-3, had BPs to serve for the set at 5-4, weren't taken. Kunitsyn had MP at 5-*4 on return, not taken, broken next game after saving three break points. Levine, serving for the second set, had 40-15 and three game points overall, yet was broken. Kunitsyn then got out to a *3-0 tiebreak lead, lost both points, but won went from 3 all to win four straight points and the match.

Kunitsyn was the one leading most of the match but predictably he choked his leads. Levine had the chances but didn't take advantage. I'm just happy Igor won, this was a desperation situation for him.
