NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — American Taylor Dent has lost to Go Soeda in the opening round of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.
Soeda, Japan’s top-ranked player, won 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 on Monday for his second career ATP victory. The other came in Beijing in 2008.
The eighth-seeded Dent, still trying to regain his game after three back surgeries in 2008, was steady with his overpowering serve until being broken in the final game of the match.
