Slevin drew first blood by claiming the first set in a 3-2 thriller.
The second set went the way of Slevin again, a 3-1 win taking him to two sets up.

After O’Connor gained the upper hand again in the fourth set with a two-game lead, Slevin stormed back to take the next three games and with it, a place in the second round.
