08/23/2010 -
New Haven, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Americans James Blake and Taylor Dent both
won their opening-round matches at the $750,000 Pilot Pen Tennis event, a
final hardcourt U.S. Open tune-up.
Blake, who titled here in 2005 and 2007, made quick work of Spaniard Pere
Riba, 6-0, 6-1. The 30-year-old Blake has been slowed by a knee injury that
caused him to miss two months on the 2010 season and as a result has dipped to
No. 111 in the ATP rankings.
Dent, meanwhile, needed three sets to defeat Argentine Eduardo Schwank, 7-6
(7-1) 4-6, 6-0 in a shade over two hours. Ranked 70th, Dent improved to 9-15
this season and is seeking his first tournament title of 2010.
Rain wreaked havoc on the schedule here on Sunday and interrupted the start of
Monday's action at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale.
Former top-20 star Radek Stepanek, a lucky-loser this week, advanced with a
6-0, 6-4 handling of Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas.
American Donald Young blew past France's Stephane Robert, 6-1, 6-2.
Additional Day-2 wins came for Aussie Peter Luczak, Argentine Maximo Gonzalez,
Russian Evgeny Korolev, Czech Jan Hajek and Germans Daniel Brands and Benjamin
Becker, Russia's Igor Andreev and Teymuraz Gabashvili, Finland's Jarkko
Nieminen, Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan, Slovakia's Lukas Lacko and Illya
Marchenko of the Ukraine.
This week's top seeds are Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis and Brazilian Thomaz
Bellucci.
The 2010 Pilot Pen champion will collect $93,630.
The U.S. Open will commence next Monday.
