Team Europe earned first mini-break in the tie-break, with Federer and Tsitsipas leading 2-0 and 4-3. However, Tsitsipas lost both his serves, and Team World took the lead, 7-4. They did not do any major mistakes later and so won the super tie-break 10-8. After the first game on Sunday, Team Wolrd leads for the first time 8-7.
