Lanier wins and takes his revenge on Vitidsarn

Nothing seemed to be able to stop the Habs, who encouraged themselves by clenching their fists after each point won and seemed more determined than ever. But barely the second set began, the balance of the first set collapsed, just like Lanier who, unable to respond to his opponent’s attacks, made a lot of mistakes and lost 21-14. The suspense was then total before the start of the third round. But the Lanier from the first set resurfaced, even cleaner and more aggressive, to gain the upper hand over his tormentor from the Malaysian Open, against whom he lost from the start last week, and win 21 -14. He will meet Indian Kiran George in the second round on Thursday.
