Richard went 5-2* up in the 2nd and had match points on Zhang's serve but the Chinese player held on, broke in the next game and has just held to love for 5-5

Richard was 3-1 up but ended up losing it 7-5.

Mainly because the young Cypriot started playing better , though, and gave Gabb the runaround - he must have covered twice the amount of court - no one can fault him on his fitness and commitment - doesn't really mange to finish a point though . . .
