Hopman Cup: Schiavone and Seppi do better against Germany

Andreas Seppi, currently number 23 in the world, was narrowly defeated in the men's singles by Tommy Haas, who was two places higher in the ATP rankings. The Kalterer lost both sets in the tie-break 6:7(3) and 6:7(7). In the second set he even had four set points, which Haas was able to fend off. Francesca Schiavone did better, beating Tatjana Malek in three sets in the women's singles with 3:6, 6:3, 6:3. Seppi/Schiavone finally won the decisive point in the mixed doubles, where they put the German duo in their place with 6:4, 7:5.
