NALBANDIAN’S DUTCH DELIGHT

Sept 2 2004
Eighth seed David Nalbandian put recent injury woes behind him to
get his US Open campaign off to a winning start.
Last year’s semi-finalist has played little this summer due to injury
but still had few problems against Dennis van Scheppingen of Holland,
winning in straight sets.
Aided by 13 double faults from his opponent, Nalbandian recorded a
6-4 7-6 (7/5) 6-3 victory.
The Argentine is likely to face a sterner test in round two when
he tackles Russian Mikhail Youzhny, a player who beat him recently
in Toronto.
