Rinky Hijikata has delivered one of his occasional super shows, the Australian No.6 earning his second shock win this season with his triumph at the Queen's Club Championships over second seed Jiri Lehecka.
Sydney qualifier Hijikata came from a set down in Thursday's (Friday AEST) second-round clash on the celebrated London club's centre court, the Andy Murray Arena, to knock out Czech world No.12 Lehecka 4-6 7-5 7-6 (9-7) in a high-quality affair.
"That's massive. I love playing on grass, so it feels like home being back here in London, and I love playing at this venue. So, yeah, I'm just pumped a bit here," enthused Hijikata, who's no stranger to pulling off the odd boilover, just as when he made Alexander Bublik his first top-10 victim in March at Indian Wells.
