At this Stage
Seedings measure the season; grass measures something narrower. Darderi arrived 14th in the draw with five ATP titles, every one of them won on clay, and ran into an American fresh from a Mallorca run and armed with a serve built for the surface. Quinn edged two tight opening sets, then pulled clear behind 16 aces for one of the earliest upsets of the men's draw. Next came Shintaro Mochizuki, the qualifier who had conceded three games in his own opener — and it was the Japanese player who kept going, in straight sets.
