Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former runner-up Novak Djokovic and
surging American Mardy Fish were a pair of hard-fought opening-round winners
Tuesday at the U.S. Open.
Djokovic outlasted fellow Serb Viktor Troicki 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 at
Arthur Ashe Stadium. Djokovic, as he has in the past, struggled mightily amid
some very hot conditions here on Day 2, as on-court temperatures soared well
over 100 degrees.
But the third seed held on and prevailed in 3 hours, 40 minutes, despite a 23-
ace barrage from the capable Troicki.
This marked Djokovic's 11th career five-set win.
The former Australian Open champion Djokovic was the 2007 U.S. Open runner-
up to Roger Federer.
Up next for Djokovic will be talented German Philipp Petzschner.
The 19th-seeded Fish needed all five sets to get past game Czech Jan Hajek
6-0, 3-6, 4-6, 6-0, 6-1 on the grounds at the USTA Billie Jean King National
Tennis Center. The Minnesota native Fish moved on in 2 hours, 36 minutes on
the Grandstand Court.
"I was lucky to turn it around and play a little more aggressive," Fish said.
"I was playing a little too defensive. You know, lucky enough to turn it
around."
Fish has now won 17 of his last 19 matches, including a pair of titles and a
runner-up finish against the great Federer in Cincinnati.
The first eye-catching upset of the fortnight came when French veteran Arnaud
Clement cut down 16th-seeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in five sets, 6-3, 2-6,
1-6, 6-4, 7-5.
Clement advanced in 3 hours, 27 minutes against his fellow former Australian
Open runner-up Baghdatis. who swatted 22 aces, but also tallied 48 unforced
errors in a losing effort.
Baghdatis reached a U.S. Open Series final in Washington, D.C. just a few
weeks ago.
In other action involving seeds, No. 23 Feliciano Lopez of Spain handled
Colombian Santiago Giraldo 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 and France's Jeremy Chardy took out
No. 24 Latvian Ernests Gulbis 6-2, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4.
Argentine Eduardo Schwank dismissed former U.S. Open semifinalist Robby
Ginepri of the United States 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 4-6, 6-3.
Additional first-round wins came for Petzschner, Spaniard Tommy Robredo,
Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas, Frenchman Benoit Paire, and Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-
Traver.
The 2010 U.S. Open champion will collect at least $1.7 million.
