So far so good for Denis. He had a few hiccups on his serve early on with 3 pretty quick double faults, so that's a concern, but in rallies and on the return especially he's been very patient and conservative, not going for outright winners or big shots to turn the point in his favour (other than one 2nd serve he murdered). A lot of balls well inside the lines but with lots of pace on them, definitely not just getting them in but also not trying to paint lines. It's exactly how he should play, and it's working.
