(6) Horacio Zeballos def. Taylor Dent 6-3, 0-0 (Retired)
Sixth seed Horacio Zeballos made round two at the US Men’s Clay Court Championship on Tuesday afternoon, as opponent Taylor Dent withdrew after the opening set. The 24-year-old Argentine had converted three of eight break points, when the American called it quits at the 37-minute mark.
Zeballos is scheduled to meet Dudi Sela in the round of 16. Sela held on to dismiss American Jesse Levine Monday night, 6-4, 7-6(6).
(Q) Ryan Sweeting def. (5) Evgeny Korolev 6-3, 4-6, 6-2
Qualifier Ryan Sweeting scored his first ATP World Tour-level victory of the season, ousting fifth seed Evgeny Korolev in three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. Sweeting pocketed three breaks of the Korolev serve in the decider, notching the win in one hour and 55 minutes. The 22-year-old American, ranked No. 150 in the world, had not won a tour-level match since July 2009, when he made round two in Los Angeles.
Sweeting faces veteran Nicolas Massu for a place in the quarterfinal. The Chilean defeated Mischa Zverev of Germany 6-4, 6-2 early Tuesday.
