U.S. Men: Only Odesnik and Ginepri Remain in French Open

Robby Ginepri overcame losing the first set to best 27th-seeded Igor Andreev on Thursday, lining himself up to play the winner of unseeded players Florent Serra of France or Victor Hanescu of Romania in the third round.  Ginepri has the best chance to advance, and is on a course to meet Roger Federer in the quarterfinals.  Wayne Odesnik, who plays world No. 3 Novak Djokovic in the third round, are the only Americans left after james Blake, Mardy Fish and Bobby Reynolds all lost.

Going into the tournament, Ginepri, who has been ranked as high as 15 and reached the semis in the 2004 U.S. Open, was ranked 88 and Odesnik 106.  Both will be certain to rise after the generous ranking points paid off in Grand Slams.
