05.06.2013 10:47:51 | On Tuesday, two of the seeded players got knocked out. The first biggest surprise was the defeat of Jarkko Nieminen of Finland, the 3rd seed and the 38th player in the world lost to Peter Gojowczyk of Germany (179th in ATP ranking). The nineteen year old Jiri Vesely inflicted a defeat to another seeded player who literally drove Guillermo García-López of Spain (79th in ATP ranking) out of the Center Court of AGROFERT Arena. Štěpánek defeated Estrella of Dominican Republic, Rosol beat Kowalczyk of Poland. Later, Jan Hajek knocked out Ivo Minar in the best match of the day.
How many seeded players will remain after today? The top-seeded Florian Mayer is to play Gabashvili of Russia, Rosol vs. Lojda, and Stepanek is to face Jan Mertl. The fourth-seeded Albert Montañés is playing Semjan of Slovakia, and today's program is to be concluded with the match of the 8th seeded Jan Hajek against Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The match of Jiri Vesely vs. Sock of America is also very promising: both youngsters have a perfect serve, both are pushing their way up in the ATP rankings. The American ranks 118th and Vesely is 9 places behind him.
