The Philippines Davis Cup doubles specialist Treat Huey and Indian ace Somdev Devarrman have beaten Russia?s grandslam regular campaigners Igor Andreev and Igor Kunitsyn in the first round of the US Open tennis championships at the Arthur Ashe Stadium at Flushing Meadows in New York, 6-3/6-4.
The US Open is being telecast "live" by "BALLS" the cable sports station of ABS-CBN . The day session in New York will be telecast on September 2 at 11:00 p.m. while the September 3 night session will be telecast fron 7:00 a.m.to 10:30 a.m. over SkyCable Channel 34.
The win was Huey's first in a grandslam event and is also Huey's first main draw appearance in the US open. In addition it is the Fil-Am?s first time to secure an outright entry into a grandslam event because of his high No. 70 world ranking in doubles.
The past two years Huey made the main draw at Wimbledon through the qualifying rounds.
His doubles partner and former Virginia star Devarrman who is currently ranked No. 63 in the world in singles gave Britain?s Andy Murray, the No. 4 seed some problems at the beginning of their first round singles match but eventually lost in straight sets 7-6/6-2/6-3.
Huey and Devarrman got 64 percent of their first serves in compared to the 57 percent of Andreev and Kunitsyn and converted that into a 77 to 66 winning percentage while also besting the Russian pair 50-38 on their second serves.
Huey and Devarrman hammered home 7 winners to none for the Russian tandem in their court No. 15 match with the first set ending in 30 minutes and the second taking a little longer at 37 minutes.
The Filipino-Indian duo broke their rivals four times in the course of the match.
