SYDNEY, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Australian Chris Guccione, ranked 447th in the world, pulled off a shock 6-3 7-6 win over French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero at the Sydney international on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old upset the world number three and tournament top seed with a display of powerful serving, sending down 19 aces to seal only his third match win as a senior professional.
"When someone serves like that, there's nothing you can do," Spaniard Ferrero said. "I'm not disappointed because I don't think I played badly, he just served too well."
Guccione, who stands 1.98 metres tall, was a junior finalist at Wimbledon in 2003 and was rewarded for his performance with a job as orange boy, helping out the Australian team at last year's Davis Cup final with Spain.
Regarded as one of Australia's most promising junior players, he was given wildcard entry to both the Sydney international and the Australian Open, starting next week in Melbourne.
"That's the best match I've ever played," he told a news conference.
"I was really nervous for the first points but I was serving so well that I started to get a bit of confidence."
The women's draw also lost one of its main attractions when Belgian
Kim Clijsters pulled out with an ankle injury before her first match.
The world number two had been struggling to regain her fitness after injuring
herself in Perth last week and is now in serious doubt for the Australian Open.
"I came here hoping to play and to defend my title so I'm really disappointed," Clijsters said.
"It's definitely not an easy decision, but I have to think about my future
as well."
There were no other surprises on Tuesday with all the remaining seeds safely advancing to the next stage.
Former world number one, Carlos Moya of Spain, beat American Alex Bogomolov 7-5 6-4 and French Open runner-up Martin Verkerk of the Netherlands saw off Australia's Wayne Arthurs 6-4 6-4.
Australia's 2003 Wimbledon finalist Mark Philippoussis blew a second-set lead before defeating Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo of Spain 6-4 5-7 6-2. He plays Briton Greg Rusedski on Wednesday.
