Austrian Wildcard Nearly Stuns Horna


Posted on May 16, 2005

Talk about a light menu in St. Poelten, Austria with only two main draw matches contested. The highlight, if you will for luck ticket holders, was No. 6 seed Luis “Me So” Horna needing three sets to take out Austrian Wildcard Daniel Koellerer, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.

Also winning was Dutch vet Sjeng Schalken who beat Kevin Kim 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.

Some bigger guns come out to play on Monday with (1) Nikolay Davydenko, (3) Igor Andreev, (4) Jurgen “Tuna Man” Melzer, (5) Mariano Puerta and (7) “You Say” Potito Starace. Nicolas Almagro “Bean Fields” also faces “Dr.” Ivo Karlovic in an interesting match-up.
