Qualifier eases to Kremlin Cup
Spanish qualifier Manuel Santana swept past big serving Swede Joachim Johansson in the final of the Kremlin Cup 7-6 (3) 6-3 to cap an impressive week of tennis. After qualifying for the main draw by seeing off countrymen Carlos Moya and Rafael Nadal, Santana proceeded to knock out higher ranked opponents including top seed and top 5 player Tim Henman in the quarter finals. In the final, Johansson's dominant serving pushed the first set to a tie-break which Santana won with some pin-point returning. A single break was all that was required in the second set as the Spaniard's accurate serving gave his Swedish adversary little chance to take the initiative. From here, both men shall head to Monte Carlo for the first clay Masters event of the year.
