2009 LA Tennis Open I

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s my first day of the main draw here a the LA Tennis Open and there is a lot to cram into this report!

The final scores for the matches I mentioned are:

Carsten Ball d. Donald Young 6-3, 6-0

Robert Kendrick d. Vince Spadea 6-0, 6-0
Today’s victory by Robert Kendrick was just the third “double bagel” in tournament history, and is the fourth on the ATP World Tour in 2009.
The previous times it happened at the LA Tennis Open was in the 1969 second round when Arthur Ashe defeated Joaquin Loyo-Mayo and in the 1984 second round when John Frawley defeated Mel Purcell.

Marat Safin d. Pete Sampras 6-4, 3-6, (10-6)
(a match tiebreak was played in lieu of a third set)

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!
