"Its my biggest challenger win, I have beaten two top 100 players this week, and also happy that I have achieved my short term goal of reaching the top 150, now I will aim to move higher to top 100 as I still have many more events," said the young Belarusian after the match

For Lacko who had played solid the whole week, the loss was disappointing: "I did everything well this week , but today Ignatik served so well , it was difficult to maintain my level, His Kamikaze game worked for him , I tried but he was the better player of the day."
