Möregårdh was able to win on his first match point after being awarded directly on the serve and went down in a bow as a serger gesture.
The Hungarian was defeated 7-11,8-11,11-9,11-4,11-7,11-8.
- It's just relief actually.
I still went into the match with a lot of respect, have trained against him before and know that he has a great backhand and can play very, very well, says Möregårdh.
Leading 7-6 in the third set, Möregårdh took a timeout to be coached by national team captain Jörgen Persson after showing clear signs of frustration.
He shouted his joy after taking the third set 11-9.
It looked a bit uneasy at the beginning of the fourth set before Mörgårdh could grow into the match and level the score at 2-2.
- Maybe it was nervousness, but on the other hand, Lakatos played well.
It was Truls who made him look good in the first two sets.
He wins without playing his best game and he has to take that with him.
He must be more active from the start, says SVT Sports expert Mikael Appelgren.
