Fourth-seeded American tennis player Kudla downed Moroccan Elliot Benchetrit 6-4 6-3, but the match ended in controversy. The positive COVID-19 test result reportedly came through with Kudla leading 5-3 in the second, and according to Benchetrit they had to finish the game in progress. Denis Kudla (pictured right) is now in hotel quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19 Because world No.114 Kudla won that game, which wrapped up the match, he was declared the winner. If Benchetrit had won the game to extend the match, it would have been declared a walkover in his favour. 'At 5-3, they got the result. So to sum up: if I'd won that game at 5-3 to make it 5-4, I'd have qualified for the second round,' Benchetrit said on Instagram.
