L32: Matthew Illingworth WR 747 v (8) Robert Varga (HUN) WR 621

Varga has played Brits no less than 63 times in recent years, with a somewhat erratic (e.g. he lost 2 & 3 to Kyle Brassington in January then stuffed him 1 & 0 a week later) 39-24 winning record against them. I'm pretty sure he was the guy who played in GB Futures qualifying a lot (for the Ukraine, I think, before he switched nationality), always did well but never seemed to get many ranking points and always languished well outside the top 1000 - that has clearly changed. He beat Matt 4 & 3 in 2005, the only time they have met before.
