At this Stage

The rankings had this one backwards. Landaluce, 20 and ranked 60th, was the favorite; Kwon, a qualifier down near No. 200, played like anything but — 42 winners against just 15 unforced errors, five breaks of serve, and never a stretch in which the Spaniard looked settled. Straight sets, and a reminder that a qualifying week can sharpen a player rather than drain him. The road climbed steeply from there: 21st seed Tommy Paul, who had spent barely an hour flattening Alexandre Müller, waited in the last 64 and ended the Korean's fortnight in straight sets.
