Ferrero turns out the lights for challenger in Bangkok
BANGKOK (AFP) -
Spaniard Juan Ferrero groped his way to
a laboured 6-3, 6-7 (4/7), 6-1 win to reach the quarter-
finals over feisty Russian-born American Alex Bogomolov
at the 550,000-dollar Thailand.
The Spanish world Number one held a comfortable lead 6-3,
5-4 and was serving for victory when a power surge knocked
out filler lights inside the Impact arena.
After no repairs were forthcoming, the pair took a warmup
hit and then decidedto play on.
The decision cost Ferrero a straight-sets win as the underdog
now living in Miami levelled with a winning tie-breaker after
a break. But Ferrero regained control to close it out in the
third.
Top Thai Paradorn Srichaphan took sweet revenge for a past
Danish disappointment, rallying past a charged-up Kenneth
Carlsen 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) to roar into the quarter-finals.
Paradorn power kept a full-house crowd enthralled as the
fourth-seeded local advanced.
The Asian ace, 11th in the world and holder of three titles,
will Friday fightfor a semi-final spot as he faces Ivan
Ljubicic, the sixth seed who ousted teenaged Croatian compatriot
Mario Ancic 6-1, 6-4.
With fans willing him on, Paradorn produced a command performance
to get out of trouble and hand Carlsen a defeat to avenge a loss
in the semi-finals in Tokyo a year ago in two tie-break sets. It
took more than two hours.
The Thai had to battle to salvage a his chances, saving
five break points and escaping eight deuce situations in
a marathon seventh game of the opening set.
After claiming the opener in 49 minutes, Paradorn still
faced a struggle in a set where the first three games
lasted for nearly 30 minutes.
The home player and the blond Viking ended it in a tie-
breaker, with Paradorn fighting back from 0-3 as the
frustration factor grew for Carlsen, the 2002 Tokyo
winner whose bests this season have been a trio of quarter-
finals.
Paradorn's fans screamed in delight as the Dane dished out
a return long to set up match point. A backhand to the net
sealed the win for the Asian, whose traditional bows to
the crowd were heartfelt in victory.
"It's not easy to go out there and play, I have to try hard
and so does my opponent," said Paradorn. "It's always tough
for an opponent to play a guy from the home country.
"I wanted to finish it in two sets, I really didn't want to
go three," said a man who is also playing doubles with his
brother here.
Paradorn was joined as a winner by third-seeded Spaniard
Carlos Moya, now overa fever and with too much game for
American Brian Vahaly 7-5, 6-4.
Former world Number one Moya arrived in Asia suffering
physically after a tough Spanish Davis Cup victory weekend
at home. But two matches into his campaign for the title at
the Impact arena, he is again looking his formidable self.
"I had a fever and sore throat when I got here, the only
time I've left the hotel was to come for the matches. But
I'm feeling much better now," said the winner, who will
play Jarkko Nieminen.
Finland's only ATP player posted his first quarter-final
showing since Long Island in August, ripping up Czech Bohdan
Ulihrach 6-4, 6-2.
