England's Andrew Baggaley defeats World Rank 72 Emmanuel Lebesson 4-1!

The first French player on court in the last 64 round Simon Gauzy had a superb win over Korea's Kim Min Seok at the Hungarian Open 2012. However, as team mate Emmanuel Lebesson stepped on court to face a determined Andrew Baggaley from England things were slightly different. This time, England produced a shock result! Andrew Baggaley fought his heart out and defeated Emmanuel by four games to one!

England's Andrew Baggaley (WR. 144) beat France's Emmanuel Lebesson (WR. 72): 3-11, 12-10, 11-8, 12-10, 11-5

In dramatic fashion England's Andrew Baggaley was shouting and pumping fists as he was up in the final set! Baggaley was making full use of his short receive play. Andrew won most of the short game which allowed him to dominate the first shots in the rally with his aggressive attacking style. This aggression and tactical play gave Baggaley full advantage of most points to give him the match and further his progress in the first ever World Tour!

Andrew Baggaley now moves into the last 32 to play Hungary's Adam Lindner who is unranked. However, don't be fooled by Adam's unranked ranking as he just beat Hyun Deok Seo by four games to two who is World Ranked 30!
