South Korean tennis sensation Kwon Soon-woo (26-104), making his six-month return after suffering a shoulder injury in February, was unable to overcome the barrier of World No. 30 Christopher Eubanks (27-USA) in the first round of the men’s singles, falling 1-3. Kwon, who was seeded second and then dramatically booked his ticket to the main draw due to top-ranked players withdrawing, was looking to match his best-ever US Open result (second round) but went down on his knees in the first game. Han (No. 31-241), who advanced through qualifying, will face this year’s Wimbledon winner and world No. 9 Marketa Bondrowshova (24-Czech Republic) on Tuesday in the women’s singles main draw.
