The match, which lasted for more than four and a half hours, kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Paul, after losing the third and fourth sets after having dominated the first two, finally managed to break Borges in the final point of the fifth set, thus securing his place in the next round. Paul himself, when describing the end point, revealed that he even doubted he had won, due to the intensity of the moment.

It was all twisted when I hit the last shot. I didn’t even know if I had made it or not. I raised my hands as if I had won the point, but I wasn’t really sure.
