“He’ll be lucky to win a set,” the third seed from Wales had quipped in advance of this match, questioning Wright’s focus into the bargain. It was a comment delivered with a knowing wink, but one that Wright was nonetheless happy to accept at face value. “I like Gezzy but I didn’t appreciate what he done,” Wright said after his 6-3 victory. “You want me to concentrate? All right, I’ll concentrate. You lost.”
