James Blake lost his battle against Frenchman Olivier Mutis, who won the
Wimbledon junior title in 1995. After dropping the first set, the American
evened the match, saving two match points and winning a second set tie-break.
But Blake then struggled to hold serve in the third, and Mutis ended up
with a 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-1 victory and a chance to play in his first ATP
semifinals. This is the first career ATP tournament for the Frenchman in
the United States.
Mutis now meets No. 2 seed Andy Roddick, who edged Brazilian Fernando
Meligeni 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, to advance to the semifinals for the third straight
year and improve his career record to 15-0 in Houston. Roddick led 6-3, 4-3
before Meligeni broke twice in a row to win the second set. The decisive
break in the final set came in the ninth game as Roddick broke on his third
break point opportunity when Meligeni hit a forehand wide.
--------------------------------------------
Mutis: "This is the first year that I am playing in ATP main draws, and
this is my greatest victory for sure. Two weeks ago I reached my first ATP
quarterfinal in Casablanca, and now I made my first ATP semifinal so I
think I can play a good match."
About losing to Hicham Arazi after holding three match points in Casablanca,
and having held two match points in the second set before Blake escaped:
"I didn't want the same thing to happen like Casablanca. I think I can go
far and I have a good ranking now, and I look forward to playing in big
tournaments."
--------------------------------------------
In the other half of the draw, defending champion and No. 2 seed Andy
Roddick meets Frenchman Olivier Mutis. Roddick now holds a 15-0 record in
Houston, having won the title here in 2002 and 2001. The American would
like nothing more than to three-peat in Houston, where he has showcased
his talent on clay.
Mutis is a newcomer to the ATP circuit. But having scored an impressive
win over No. 3 seed James Blake on Friday and having reached the
quarterfinals in Casablanca two weeks ago, the Frenchman could pose
difficulties for Roddick. Mutis has little to lose in Saturday's semifinal
match, playing the brightest American tennis star before an American crowd.
Yet, that's the very reason he could be dangerous. This is the first meeting
for the two players.
