Really nervy stuff at the moment, hopefully Alex can get the early advantage in this breaker and not have any flashbacks to last week

C'mon Alex, Lacko must be getting a bit tight. A couple of big serves and you're through

such mental fragility. no way he would have lost had he beaten sluiter last wk

Very disappointed! maybe lacko felt no pressure in facing the no.2 seed. boggo must be upset to lose so early. now i think his goal of reaching the top 100 is getting further and further away. however, it is difficult to get to the top 100 when other players are preventing boggo from going further up the table

Hopefully, josh will give a proper brit-bashing to lacko
