Sock fell 2-6 down quickly in the deciding game, but a change of ends supported a momentum change as the 4-time ATP title winner took charge of the match, going up 7-6 in just five minutes.
Momentum shifted once more in the endgame, seeing Johnson through to his fourth singles gold medal with an 11-7 final game score. The No. 2 seed (not to mention world No. 2 in singles rankings) bumps his total singles medals for the year to double digits with this performance at Red Rock.
Sock, in the meantime, earns his first-career silver medal in Utah, totaling three medals to his name: this singles silver, a singles bronze, and a mixed doubles gold.
