Your support makes all the difference.Greg Rusedski rediscovered the kind of form that carried him into the last eight at Wimbledon with an impressive victory in the Pilot Pen International at New Haven, Connecticut, yesterday.
The British No 2 encountered stout early resistance from the American wild card entry Jeff Salzenstein, like Rusedski, a 23-year-old left hander. But after snatching the first set, Rusedski romped to a 6-4, 6-0 victory, breaking the world No 157 three times in the second set.
The match lasted only 65 minutes and that suited Rusedski as he was due on court again four hours later against the Spaniard Albert Costa.
"I didn't return as well as I would have liked in the beginning," Rusedski said. "Then I started to settle down. When I got a few balls back it gave me a chance."
