Really close at the end - Luke played a super point at 8-8 - it looks like a really basic, standard shot, but it would have been so easy to rush it and mess it up and he took his time, placed it well, forced the error, kept them in it...
Everyone goes - oh, what a gorgeous one-handed backhand (because every now and then, one backhnad will connect and the one-hander element has a strong fan base). But it's really not good....
It's a shame because i love one handed backhands, i'd never seen him play before this week, watched an earlier round match which he won and thought it was bad then, but hoped it was just a bad day, today was worse, although Thompson was always going to be able to exploit it.
