The Match: BUC vs. Wildcard Opponent
In the first round of the ATP 1000 Indian Wells tournament on March 6, 2025, BUC faced the local wildcard player, Basavareddi, who was ranked 101st in the world. Although BUC’s ranking stood at 71st, the match was anyone’s game, with both players eager to make their mark. This was the first time these two had met on the court.
First Set: Dominant Yet Nerve-Wracking
The match started with a flourish as BUC took an early 2-0 lead, breaking his opponent’s serve and holding his own. However, Basavareddi wasn’t going down without a fight. In the 10th game, he managed to break BUC’s serve, keeping the set on edge.
But BUC quickly regained his composure, breaking Basavareddi’s serve in the 11th game and then holding his own serve in the 12th game without dropping a point. He claimed the first set 7-5, but it wasn’t easy.
Second Set: A More Controlled Victory
The second set saw BUC come out even stronger. He broke Basavareddi’s serve right at the beginning and held his serve confidently, leading 2-0. Basavareddi tried to mount a comeback, but BUC’s focus and strategy kept him in control.
