Unseeded Rusedski Through to ATP Moscow Quarterfinals


Posted on October 15, 2004

Greg Rusedski showed some of his old aggressive form Thursday at the ATP stop in Moscow, with the unseeded Brit ousting No. 7 seed Filippo Volandri in straight sets to advance to the quarterfinals.

"I feel like I am playing really well, I think every week I have gotten better this year," said Grinning Greg. "Today it was a very comprehensive performance, four breaks, 6-2, 6-4."

Others into the quarters Thursday were No. 3 Dominik "The Dominator" Hrbaty (d. (Q) Vladimir "The Vladiator" Voltchkov 7-6 in the third), No. 5 Mikhail Youzhny (d. Bjorkman), and unseeded Dane Kenneth Carlsen (d. Andreev 6-1 in the third).

Friday's quarters line up as Stepanek vs. (8) Davydenko, Carlsen vs. (5) Youzhny, (WC) Kunitsyn vs. (3) The Dominator, and in a serving throw-down, Rusedski vs. (2) Joachim "Pim-Pim" Johansson.
