Well, Lacko DOES have a few more gears - lower ones !

Richard serves well, gets the BH back in court, Lacko decides coming into the net on daft balls would be a good tactic - and Gabb breaks.

And now Lacko won't even sit down at changeovers - just goes round the other post - and is having a bit of a sulk, from the look of it.

Allez, Richard !

And Gabb breaks again, thanks to some excellent running and court coverage, and a few dumped balls from Lacko.

And then serves it out, to a Lacko who's not even making the effort now.

So Gabb gets the second set 6-1

I assume Lacko'll re-start in the third but who knows ???

Rich going like a train at the moment: gets an early break at the start of the decider! wink *1-0

Lacko definitely making more of an effort - but Gabb STILL manages to break AND, after an effort, hold serve.

Keep going, lad !

edit: and then Lacko plays a shocker !

3*-0 to Richard . . .

. . . and lacko takes a MTO - right knee ? thigh ? maybe . . .

Make that 4-0* now. Lacko imploding à la Sam Querrey in the DC?

lacko played his best couple of games for a while but only won one of them.

4*-1 to Richard

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

He's only been & gone & done it! disbelief

L16: Richard Gabb WR 484 defeated (1) Lukas Lacko (SVK) WR 84 by 3-6 6-3 6-2

At the risk of repeating myself, un-bloody-believable! A famous victory! biggrin

Wowzer !!!

Richard Gabb, come on down :::)))

Wow - what a result.

Gabb played very well, but Lacko?? I'm not sure what happened after the first set. No effort, strange shots, schoolboy errors.

Wow- what a result for Richard!

Yes. Absolutely. And I can't really believe it was the 'injury' - he only got the trainer on at 0-3 in the third.

Amazing result!
