The diabetic youngster, who has never been a ranking American player, shook off a leg emmp in the deciding not and went on to win 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 10-8, 6-4.

Richardson, red-haired, freckle-faced six-footer with a sizzling service and an unbeatable backhand, said afterwards: "Sure, I thought I could win," And then he added with a grin: "But I didn't really think I would,"
