Srichaphan shocks Davydenko

September 03, 2005 00:24 IST

Unseeded Thai Paradorn Srichaphan upset sixth seed Nikolay Davydenko 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 on Friday to advance to the third round of the U.S. Open.

The 26-year-old Paradorn, ranked 51, ripped 45 winners in his victory over the Russian, who had reached the semi-finals at the French Open and the last eight at the Australian Open.

The Thai will next face Italian David Sanguinetti, who also vanquished a seeded player in number 31 Carlos Moya, the 1998 French Open champion.

Sanguinetti beat Moya 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4.
