/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Men’s singles main draw action kicked off at the
Sony Ericsson Open in Miami on Wednesday, with several former Top 10
players in action in the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event.

Argentinean wild card David Nalbandian, on the comeback trail after
undergoing hip surgery last year, cruised to a 6-3, 6-2 in over
Poland’s Lukasz Kubot. The former World No. 3 and 2002 Wimbledon
runner-up won 82 per cent of points on his first serve, advancing to
the second round where he’ll play No. 30-seeded Serbian Viktor Troicki.

The 2010 Sony Ericsson Open (played March 22 – April 4) is one of nine
ATP Masters Series events on the ATP calendar, a Premier Mandatory
event on the Sony Ericsson WTA TOUR calendar, and features the top
men’s and women’s tennis players in the world. In 2009 British standout
Andy Murray defeated Novak Djokovic for his first Sony Ericsson Open
title, while rising Belarusian star Victoria Azarenka knocked off
Serena Williams to capture her first title in Miami.
