Wednesday, Feb. 20 2:56am ET * Coetzer upset in second round at Kroger St. Jude tennis MEMPHIS, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Amanda Coetzer's stay at the $895,000 Kroger St. Jude indoor tennis event was a short one. The top-seeded Coetzer on Tuesday was upset in the second round by unseeded Russian Alina Jidkova, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5). Playing in her first tournament since losing in the second round at last month's Pan Pacific Open, Coetzer received a first-round bye in this event. Coetzer thought having the bye was a detriment. "I felt a little rusty since I haven't played a tournament since Tokyo and by having a bye in the first round I think that puts you at a disadvantage since the other player has already played one match," Coetzer said. "She came out with a lot of confidence." ----------------------------------------- NEXT SPORTS NEWS ROUNDUP AT 5:30 P.M. EST ----------------------------------------- |
