MOSCOW, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- No. 1 seed Alexander Dolgopolov was upset 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6) by French qualifier Edouard Roger-Vasselin Thursday at Kremlin Cup in Moscow.
Dolgopolov had four match points -- two in the tiebreak -- before Roger-Vasselin came back to win.
Asked what made the difference in the match, Roger-Vasselin, ranked No. 106 in the world, said, "Maybe luck. He missed one or two easy shots on the match point but otherwise it was very close."
The French qualifier will meet Ivo Karlovi of Croatia in Friday's quarterfinals. Karlovi defeated Alexander Bogomolov Jr. of Russia 7-6 (13-11), 6-4 in their second round match.
