Progress At Pacific
Club
Qualifiers Fabien Verseille and Jethro Binns secured unexpected
places in the quarter-finals of the Pacific Athletic Club Open after
impressive upsets on the opening day at the Pacific Athletic Club in
Redwood City in the US state of California.
Welshman Binns scored the biggest scalp, beating fifth-seeded
Mexican Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira in 71 minutes.
The 24-year-old world No 117 from Bristol now takes fellow Briton
Jonathan Kemp - ranked almost 80 places higher. The No2 seed from
England recovered from a game down to beat Colombian qualifier
Bernardo Samper.
Verseille - at 185, the lowest-ranked player in the draw - conquered
Canadian David Phillips, the No8 seed.
The 23-year-old Frenchman now tackles the top seed Shahier Razik,
also a Canadian. Razik, the world No30 from Toronto, was taken to
four games by LA-based Belgian Stefan Casteleyn, a former world No7,
before winning in 55 minutes. |
