Jhenya runs to third round after beating L.Horna (PER) in a straight 1h17 : 6/2 6/3.
He will play his next
round against [2]T.Robredo (SPA).
Unfortunatly Evgueny
lost to top seed T.Robredo 4/6 6/3 6/1.
We can underline the fact that he bravely took a set to his opponent, he was led 4/2 and finaly scored 4 consecutive games to end the first set 6/4.
Evgueny will play his first match of qualifications against #1 seed N.Mahut (FRA).
The complete draw is available : here.
Unfortunatly Jenya lost to N.Mahut 6/4 5/7 6/4. "A tough match" Mahut said, and a tough match it was, for both. Coming back for a long time without playing, he was probably not at his best, an observation that the statistics confirm, but showing such a resistance to the qualifications' number one seed is a good sign for the upcoming US Open.
A second Grand Slam participation for Evgeny, he plays the US Open.
He is #12 seed of the qualifications.
We hope he'll do as well as he did during the French Open.

USO is over for Jenya, he's been beaten by the local Kendrick 7/6(9) 4/6 7/5.
Although it's kinda sad that Evgeny misteped because of one single break ; those three rounds qualifications of a Grand Slam Tournament made him jump from 18 ranks in the ATP ranking.
He is now 100th ! Congratulations !
