Russian Tursunov reaches quarters of Indianapolis Tennis

Russian Tursunov reaches quarters of Indianapolis TennisTop eight seed Russian Dmitry Tursunov made his quarter final entry into Indianapolis Tennis by beating Brazilian Marcos Daniel 6-3, 6-3. In his quarter-final match, Russian player Tursunov is going to meet his year old Canadian rival - Frank Dancevic, whom he defeated at the Indy title two years back and also during the grass-court Eastbourne final.
"In our last few matches I've tried to prevent him going for his shots. You have to try to rush him, keep him on the back foot," said the California-based Russian. "He's a shotmaker that you cannot take for granted.

"I'll have to serve well and cut out more of my unforced errors. But I've been hitting some good shots even if I felt so lethargic during warm-up (after a rain-off on Wednesday) that I actually had to warm up twice."
