It’s the second day of the Farmers Classic, presented by Mercedes-Benz!
I’ll be reporting daily from the LA Tennis Center, on the campus of UCLA.
Get your tickets, come on down, and join in the fun!
The final scores for the matches I mentioned are:
Ryan Sweeting d. Kristof Vliegen 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 In an exciting three-setter, the American was able to pull out a win!
Somdev Devvarman d. Steve Johnson 6-4, 6-4 This was Steve’s very first entry into an ATP event. I hope that we’ll be seeing more of him in the future!
Feliciano Lopez / Janko Tipsarevic d. James Blake /Sam Querrey 6-3, 6-3This was the first pairing of Lopez/Tipsarevic and they looked really strong and efficient.

The final scores for the matches I mentioned are:
Steve Johnson d. Chris Guccione 6-3, 6-3 Steve is a Southern California resident who, because he is still in college and, therefore, an amateur, cannot play for money at this event. He’s playing for the thrill of playing against ATP players!
Ernests Gulbis d. Lukas Lacko 7-5, 7-5 Ernests is coming back from a hamstring injury that has kept him out of competition since Roland Garros in May. He admitted that, “In the second set I was getting a bit tired because of lack of match experience. The only thing that I did well, was serving.”
Arnaud Clement / Jonathan Erlich d. Travis Parrott / Dusan Vemic 7-6(8), 6-2
