6- 7 6-2 4-0 ret. against Istomin. Patience was needed in this match, Richard hit an awful lot of errors, notably on the FH, one minibreak sufficed für Istomin to win the first set, in the second set, Istomin declined and Richard went up, hence the result. In the third set, Istomin hurt himself in a fantastic exchange in the 3rd game of the 3rd set with Richard winning the point. Istomin took a MTO, tried to continue but could not finish. Well done, Richard, for raising his level as the match went on. Doubles tomorrow with Tsonga.

Yes saw the match Puschkin and Richard was a tad slow "maybe nerves in front of the home crowd" in the first set but upped his game in the second and third with some great and aggressive play. Yes, loved that exchange in the 3rd set with just super movement from Richard. It was great seeing Richard take control of the match in the second set and not let Istomin back in. javascript:emoticon('')
Delighted Richard came through and I hope he does well here - it will be good for his confidence. I am not going to talk about future matches because when I do he does not do well, so I am going one match at a time.
