Fifth-seeded Robin Soderling won his second-round match at the US Open, defeating American Taylor Dent 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 yesterday.
Soderling, who has reached the final at the French Open for two straight years, needed five sets for his first-round victory at Flushing Meadows but had a much easier time with Dent.
Dent got buzz last year when he played in his first US Open in three years, after recovering from a pair of delicate operations on his back. He won two matches last year before losing to Andy Murray.
This time it was Soderling knocking him out in a 92-minute match in which both players topped 140 mph on their serve, but Soderling had 14 aces to only nine from Dent.
