http://tinyurl.com/8hkd8m Nalbandian dumped in second round Wednesday 21 January 2009 By Katy Ghassemi Chinese Taipei’s Yen-Hsun Lu has shocked world No. 11 David Nalbandian In the second round of Australian Open 2009, ousting the 10th seed 6-4 5-7 4-6 6-4 6-2 on Wednesday. Nalbandian, a semifinalist in 2006, was a favourite to take out the match, having defeated Lu in their only previous meeting in 2004. Lu’s fitness was also of concern given he pulled out of the Hopman Cup earlier in the month with a quad injury. However, there were no signs of the injury as Lu made light work of the first set, taking it in 42 minutes before Nalbandian came back to secure the next two 7-5 6-4. Looking to level the match, Lu created a break point opportunity in the first game of the fourth set, but Nalbandian fought back, winning the game with an ace. Undeterred, Lu continued applying pressure to Nalbandian’s serve and succeeded in breaking the Argentine twice en route to winning the set 6-4 with an ace. With the match underway for well over three hours, the decider became a test of endurance. Continuing to play aggressively, a still-energised Lu ran away to a 5-2 lead before Nalbandian, in a last-ditch effort, had the opportunity to break Lu’s serve to stay in the match. The Argentine was unable to capitalise on six break point chances, and Lu secured the match on his first attempt. Lu, by making it to the third round of a major for the first time in his career, will play Spaniard Tommy Robredo in his next match. Robredo won his second-round assignment with Serbia’s Victor Troicki earlier in the day at a canter, galloping to a 6-1 6-3 6-0 victory. Quick facts Nalbandian had eight double faults to Lu’s four Lu hit 51 winners to Nalbandian’s 37 Lu’s first serve percentage was 63 per cent compared to Nalbandian’s 50 percent Nalbandian had 61 unforced errors, while Lu tallied 60 -- 要去吃飯了 如果需要翻譯的話 晚點再做:P --
