LUKAS Lacko of Slovakia beat American qualifier Michael Yani in a 71-game match yesterday at the French Open that ties the record for the most in the tournament since tiebreakers were instituted in 1973.
Lacko won 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 12-10 in a first-round match that began on Sunday and finished yesterday. Play was suspended on Sunday because of darkness, with the score 8-8 in the fifth set.
Lacko broke Yani's serve only once in the entire match: in the next-to-last game.
Three other men's singles matches at Roland Garros also lasted 71 games. The overall record is the 83 games played in a match in 1957.
