Bakalov reached the semis last week, hence his SE.

Back all square at 5-5*

Richard breaks again and will serve at *6-5

So far only three BPs in the match and ALL have been taken - 2 to Richard, 1 to Konecny

Very tough match for Richard. Looks like second set slipping.

Funny thing is, this match aside, I could easily imagine (although very unlikely in realty) a clean sweep of GB men's victories today across the top 25 table - so at $10k level at least our men are now proving a handful to allcomers. Trick is for half of them to graduate up to the next level ASAP.

There are one or two other "toughies" out there today - Slabba's in particular - but you may be right.
