Istanbul: Philipp
Petzschner and Flavio Cipolla survive early scare while Somdev Devvarman falls
The Indian
Somdev Devvarman was surprised by Konstantin Kravchuk in his debut at Istanbul.
The Russian won 6 – 2 6 – 3 not losing his serve during all match with a very
solid performance.
Petzschner
has faced several physical problems this season, but was able to pull off a
three set victory over Nikoloz Basilashvili 6 – 3 2 – 6 6 – 1. Cipolla had to
come back from one set down to overcome Uladzmir Igantik 4 – 6 6 – 4 6 – 3
The home
favorite Marsel Ilhan had chance to serve for the first set, but wasn’t able to
close it and Aldin Sektic took advantage of that to get a place in the next
stage
The other
Turkish player in action today, Baris Erguden who received a wild card, had no
chances against first seed Garcia-Lopez. The Spanish won easily 6 – 0 6 – 2
