Youzhny To Meet Melzer

Seventh-seed and ATP world number 46 Mikhail Youzhny defeated Stefan Koubak 6-2 6-4 in front of the Austrian’s hometown fans. The win for the Russian sets up a quarterfinal meeting against another Austrian and second-seed, Jurgen Melzer.

Melzer, who beat Agustin Calleri 6-4 7-5, has been playing well lately, so the matchup should be a good one. The two players are even at 2-2 in their head-to-head matchup, with Youzhny winning their last two meetings.
