Luke Saville slays Or Ram-Harel in the Boy’s opening round – Australian Open 2012
Top seed, Luke Saville, drilled through the Israeli lad, Or Ram-Harel with double breadsticks in the opening round of the Boy’s Singles event on Monday. He barely sweated to register an assuring 6-1, 6-1 score line against the Israeli and advanced into the
second round at the Australian Open, first of the four Grand Slam event taking place in Melbourne, Australia.
Local star, Saville, showed mind-blowing skills at the Melbourne Park and crushed the Israeli in straight sets in their first meeting. After going on a nine games killing spree, the Aussie convincingly booked a spot in the second round.
After the Israeli held his serve in the second game, the Aussie smacked a barrage of groundstrokes and wiped out the last five games in a row, earning the breadstick in almost half an hour.
Home favourite, Saville, carried his winning ways in the second set and reeled off the next four games in a row before Ram-Harel could hold on. He then stroke out the last two games and earned the second breadstick in 40 minutes.
Summing up the top seed’s performance, Saville formulated a higher first serve share of 56 percent as compared to his rival’s 42 percent and registered an amazing 18 out of 23 points on it. With his tremendous skills and agility, the Aussie brushed off the
only breakpoint he encountered and cashed in five out of eight break chances.
The Aussie’s serve will square off against the French challenger, Lucas Pouille, who trashed Jannis Kahlke of Germany in straight sets to advance in this tournament. He broke the German’s serve six times to manipulate a 6-2, 6-2 score line.
Second seed, Thiago Monteiro, faced a different fate later that day. He suffered a 6-2, 3-6, 4-6 loss against the Aussie challenger, Jack Schipanski, in front of a pessimist crowd. The Brazilian converted three out of five break opportunities to his advantage
but dusted away 10 out of 13 breakpoints he faced. He also spilled more unforced errors and produced a poor first serve share.
Schipanski will next face the Canadian lad, Filip Peliwo, who also bounced from a set down to register a 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over the Japanese qualifier, Ken Onishi.
