When ATP players play a WTA set

G.O.A.T.
The set where there are multiple breaks and nobody can quite hold the serve well.
We see an awful lot of those in top tier WTA matches, but not that frequently in top tier ATP matches. So here we are compiling all such sets.

A very recent one came to mind - the second set of Djokovic v/s Museti in the R16 of Monte Carlo master's 1000. Musetti won that set 7-5; a set which had 9 breaks in total.

Please put your suggestions down here as well.

Deliberately focusing on matches away from clay:

- During Julien Boutter's win over one of my favourites Arazi at the Stuttgart Masters in 2000, there were 22 breaks in 26 games.
- During Santoro's win over Christophe Rochus at Doha in 2003, there were 18 breaks in 36 games.
- During Schuttler's win over Youzhny at Lyon in 2003, there were 17 breaks in 30 games.

On clay, when during the 2nd set of the 2018 RG qualifying match between Melzer and Carlos Taberner, there were 10 breaks in 12 games, including 8 breaks in a row.

I remember a set like that between Kachanov and Korda at Wimbledon, maybe in 2022
2021

In the 5th set there were 13 breaks of serve in 18 games. In the first 12 games of the set, there were only 2 service holds. There were 8 straight breaks at one point. Khachanov was broken 3 times in a row while serving for the match(at 5-4, 6-5, 7-6)
