Richard was 4*-5 up, 30-30, within a whisker. But now 5-5.

 

and manages to hold serve (no mean achievement).

Now for the break and the match. . .

6 breaks in 9 games ... that's quite extreme for a men's match!

Anyway, can't complain given that Richard got 4 of them

You have the feeling that his first tour title is coming(might be another doubles title as well to follow)

Finally, a Turkish Futures without Djokovic, I mean Ilhan playing. Good on Gabb for stepping into his shoes

Back on serve, 2*-3.

But as steven says, practically more breaks than holds !

point by point, Richard . . .

He capitulates in the fifth game, but narrowly fails to breaks again in the sixth (lost count of the number of deuces!):  *3-3.

You can bet your bottom dollar that Gabb will get tight having not won on the tour yet.

By the way, the 'oh yes' was to 'bet he's really tight' . . .

lost the next 5 points, and the TB, 7-2

All to play for, time to regroup . .
