Robredo Leads Four Seeds Through at ATP s-Hertogenbosch
Posted on June 14, 2005
Top-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo showed an improved pruning technique Monday at the ATP stop in 's-Hertogenbosch, downing Luxembourg's Gilles Muller 6-1, 6-4 to lead the four seeds in action into the second round.
Other seeded winners were (2) Guillermo Coria (d. (LL) Uebel), (5) Robin Soderling (d. Haehnel), and (8) Paul-Henri Mathieu (d. Vanek).
"I took the opportunities I had and this gives me a lot of confidence," Coria said. "I went back to Argentina after Paris for some rest and than I started to prepare for the grasscourt season. I spent a lot of time on the courts back home and I really feel that I'm ready to go for a good swing and to get as many matches as possible here and at Wimbledon."
Other un-seeds advancing were Germans Lars Burgsmuller (d. Wawrinka from a set down) and Philipp Kohlschreiber (d. Lisnard), Frenchman Michael Llodra (d. (Q) Gremelmayr 7-6 in the third), Aussie Wayne Arthurs (d. Sluiter), and Czech Jan Hernych (d. (WC) Van Scheppingen).
Scheduled for Tuesday are Schalken vs. Phau, (WC) Philippoussis vs. (7) Christophe "The Roach" Rochus, Sanguinetti vs. Kucera, (Q) Logtens vs. (3) Mario "Baby Goran" Ancic, Guillermo "G-Lo" Garcia-Lopez vs. (Q) Klein, (Q) Petzschner vs. Julien "United Colors of" Benneteau, and (6) Pavel vs. Bjorkman.
