BANGKOK, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Third-seeded Jurgen Melzer was among second-round winners Wednesday at the Thailand Open tennis tournament.
Melzer advanced to the tournament quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Dudi Sela. He was able to convert five of 11 break-point chances. Melzer dropped his own serve three times but lost only nine points on serve in the second set.
No. 4-seeded Ernests Gulbis also moved into the quarterfinals, defeating Rainer Schuettler 7-6 (7-4), 6-7 (4-7), 6-4 in a match in which both players won 114 points and that took nearly 3 hours to decide.
Gulbis will go against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the next round. Garcia-Lopez had nearly as long a match as Gulbis, finally escaping Florent Serra 7-5, 6-7 (3-7), 7-5.
Daniel Brands pulled off a second-round upset by taking two tie-breakers in beating No. 6-seed Thiemo de Bakker 7-6 (7-2), 1-6, 7-6 (9-7).
Also Wednesday, Benjamin Becker ousted Mischa Zverev 6-1, 6-4 in the tournament's final first-round match.
