Kuerten wins first match for 18 months

Former French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten won his first match for 18 months when he defeated seventh seed Filippo Volandri of Italy at the Brazil Open yesterday.

Kuerten needed 47 minutes to polish off the match 6-3 6-1 at the Costa da Sauipe tournament in a resort on the North-Eastern coast.

The Brazilian's last tour win was against Paul Goldstein at the US Open in August, 2005. Since then, he has undergone hip surgery and been plagued by muscular problems.
