Revenge and a rare top 500 scalp for James

L32: James Feaver WR 799 beat (7) Mikhail Vasiliev (RUS) WR 429 by 6-2 7-6(5) biggrin

L16: James Feaver WR 799 v (Q) Vadim Kutsenko (RUS) UNR

34-year-old Kutsenko reached a career high of 140 back in 2002 and reached Round 2 at the Australian Open the following year but hasn't been ranked for more than 5 years, though of couese he picked up a ranking point today.

Kutsenko's record this year reads: loss by w/o ... loss by 1-4 ret. ... loss by w/o ... double bagel loss to Stadler (who coincidentally also has a CH of 140 but is now ranked 320) ... 3 wins here (2 in qualifying)

Was he really ranked 140 at the age of 16? He must have been very decent back in the day. Saying that, 19 years is a long time to get out of practise!

Steven I think you meant 2002 not 1992 according to atp site, that makes more sense! If you're 140 at 16 you're on the path to superstardom!

Another glitch in system by the looks of things.......

Oops - now corrected. I've no idea where I picked up the 1992 from, especially when I managed to put 2002 in the corresponding tweet. confuse ashamed

Sadly, though perhaps predictably, the lucky run came to an end earlier today: James lost by 0 & 2. cry
