Ipswich, 29 March 2011 | tennis.com.au

The City of Ipswich Tennis International commenced today with local favourites Michael Look (Scarborough, Qld), and Isabella Holland (St. Lucia, Qld) progressing to the second round after winning tough opening matches.

Both players came from one set down with Look defeating German qualifier Kim Moellers and Optus 18s National champion Holland overcoming Azra Hadzic (Keysborough, Vic).

Former world No.32 Olga Puchkova (RUS) enjoyed a comfortable first round win while No.6 seed Sophie Letcher (Bonogin, Qld) was too strong for Zuzana Zlochova of Slovakia.

In other results, New Zealand’s No.1 player and fourth seed Michael Venus lost the first set against local qualifier Gavin Van Peperzeel (Sandstone Point, Qld) before fighting back to claim victory, while compatriot Marcus Daniell upset No.8 seed Yuichi Ito (JPN) in three sets.

Earlier today, top seed Nick Lindahl (SWE) was forced to retire after suffering an abdominal strain in the opening set against Marvin Barker of New Zealand.

First round matches at the City of Ipswich Tennis International will continue tomorrow.
