1st round, Moscow born American Dennis Novikov (in orange) beat Italian Federico Gaio in 3 set – he bent a lot when serving. In the beginning we rooted for the neutralized American [Gaio looks like a plumber  -:)] but soon found his manner to be childish … Mitchell Krueger’s outfit is pretty neat. Both Americans advanced. Before we left, we caught the last few games of Canadian Francoise Abanda’s win over Sílvia Soler-Espinosa in 3 sets.
