4-6

Shame. Wardy just had a really bad patch at the end of the 2nd and start of the 3rd. Or maybe, Devvarman just played his socks off during that spell.

Hmmm!

Well done Aljaz

Yes it was 8-6. And he was 3-6 down before winning 5 points in a row.

Happy hunting ground for Aljaz. Great work.

So busy watching Eggheads, I missed the end of the match. Last time I looked Aljaz was 3-6 down in that tiebreak so a great fight back. Liking the start to this year's tennis with some excellent results.

Great to get a win against a solid top 50 player like Vasek proving again that Aljaz belongs at this level. Hopefully he can have a good run here and defend all of those points from last years tournament!
