Davydenko, Ginepri Slip Up on Ordina Open Grass

 Top seed Nikolay Davydenko's career grass court record slipped to 1-10 after a 6-2, 6-4 first-round loss to German Philipp Kohlschreiber at the Ordina Open Tuesday. The World No. 6 had won 18 of his past 22 matches heading into the grass season but his loss today followed a first-up loss at Queen's to unheralded Taipei player Yeu-Tzuoo Wang last week.

Second seed Tommy Robredo, making his first appearance of the grass court season, defeated Croatian qualifier Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-4.

Fifth seed Robby Ginperi's disappointing season continued when a respiratory illness forced his retirement against Fabrice Santoro. The veteran Frenchman was leading 6-1 3-2 when Ginperi was forced to stop. Despite sitting at No. 16 in the INDESIT ATP Rankings -- just one place lower than his career-high -- Ginepri has won just six of 21 matches in 2006. Two of those victories came last week at Queen's, when he reached the round of 16 before falling to eventual finalist James Blake in three sets. The American will now focus on Wimbledon, where in 2004 he reached the fourth round.

American Vince Spadea rallied from a set down to defeat German Bjorn Phau 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 and claim his first match win in three appearances in 's-Hertogenbosch. Spadea, who went 0-4 during the European clay court season, claimed his first match win since defeating Marcos Baghdatis in the second round of the U.S. Clay Court Championships in Houston in mid April.
