Spanish test up first in Cincy
Hutchins & Huss in Masters 1000 action
Ross Hutchins and Stephen Huss return to action this week at the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Anglo-Aussie duo, playing in their second Masters 1000 event together, face Spaniards Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco in the first round, as the US Open Series returns to home soil following last week’s event in Montreal.
Despite making their names on the singles circuit, lefties Lopez and Verdasco are an established doubles team, They won their only doubles title together in Stockholm back in 2004, and regularly pair up to represent their country in the Davis Cup, including Spain’s final victory over Argentina in 2008.
No.4 seeds Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles await the winners in the second round after receiving a bye.
