Millman fails to deliver

AUSTRALIA’S John Millman has fallen short in his maiden ATP final, going down to Italian lucky loser Marco Cecchinato in the Hungarian Open.

Millman, who had to complete his semi-final just two hours before playing in the decider, lost 7-5, 6-4 to the qualifier yesterday.

The world No.92 converted four out of eight break points to win in 1hr 47min to become the first lucky loser to win a title since Leonardo Mayer triumphed in Hamburg last July.
