Kremlin Cup: Odesnik and Ginepri winners on day 2

Wayne Odesnik and Robby Ginepri produced upsets at the Kremlin Cup after eliminating two highly seeded players in the opening round.

Odesnik defeated Victor Hanescu 5-7, 7-5, 6-4, and Ginepri beat Igor Andreev 6-3 6-7 7-6.

Odesnik saved a match point in the 10th game of the second set. He then broke Hanescu in the fifth game of the third set.

“I was mentally strong today and stayed with him the whole match,” Odesnik said.

Hanescu had problems with the indoor hard court at Olympic Stadium.

“The surface is slower than last week and I struggled adjusting to it,” Hanescu said. “I don’t have so much confidence at the moment.”
