Hrbaty upsets Tursunov in St. Petersburg

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) -Dominik Hrbaty upset sixth-seeded Dmitry Tursunov 6-1, 6-1 in the first round of the St. Petersburg Open on Monday.

Hrbaty, ranked 340th, capitalized on Tursunov's weak serve and poor return to wrap up the win in less than an hour.

After dropping the first game, Hrbaty reeled of six consecutive games to take the set. The 26th-ranked Tursunov had a break in the second game of the second set, but Hrbaty then won five games in a row to close out the match in 56 minutes.


Also, Viktor Hanescu of Romania beat Evgeny Korolev of Russia 6-1, 6-2.
