Richard lost his second round encounter against Dmitrij Tursunov 6-7 0-6.
After a tight and rather good quality hard-court set in which none of the players had a breakpoint, Richard twice lost his mini-break advantage to finally concede the tie-break 8-10.
He also missed two breakpoints in Tursunov's first servie game in the second set and then it was match over. Tursunov just had to wait for Richard's errors. It was not obvious from watching, but a physical or health problem might have been the reason for the bagel in the second set.
Richard's next tournament are the US Open.
