BANGKOK, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Igor Sijsling claimed an upset win Monday as the Thailand Open began with three first-round matches.
Sijsling eliminated seventh-seeded Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) with an eight-ace attack helping his cause. He was good only about half of his first serves but won 29-of-31 of the points when he did land those serves.
