NEWPORT, R.I. -- Sixth-seeded Adrian Mannarino of France rallied past James Duckworth of Australia 6-7 (3), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) to advance to the second round of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships on Tuesday.The 28-year-old Mannarino was the only seeded player in action and voiced his displeasure over playing on a side court and the condition of Newports grass surface.I feel relieved that I won the match, but still I didnt enjoy any minute on the court, he said. The court is just ridiculously bad. Were playing (next to) the other court. Youve got the camera, the microphone on the court. You cant really move. This is really not respectful for the players to come, that kind of court.Qualifier Frank Dancevic of Canada beat American Ryan Harrison 6-4, 6-4 on center court in a match that ended a few minutes after Mannarinos victory.Mannarino went up 5-2 after breaking serve in the seventh game of final set, but struggled and became visibly upset, yelling at himself when he hit a lob long to close the eighth game.The tourney is held on the grounds of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and fans can get an up-close look at play on the side courts. Spectators stand about 20 feet beyond both baselines, behind a fence thats approximately three-feet high, with a mesh netting attached.Mannarino said its difficult for players to see shots, especially with bad bounces.We dont see the ball, he said. We dont see anything because youve got all the people behind the court.Mannarino closed the 2?-hour match with an ace. He is hoping to play on the main court in his next match.Im seeded here so hopefully my second match will be on the center court, he said.Asked about Mannarinos comments, Todd Martin, a longtime pro who serves as the tournament director, focused on the Frenchmans victory.The players, no matter where they are or what conditions they play in, have one goal each day ... be better than their opponent. Today, Adrian Mannarino accomplished that in spite of not liking the conditions, Martin said through a spokeswoman for the tournament.The 24-year-old Harrison lost in the first round for the fourth straight match this season.Its been a disappointing year, he said.Projected as one of a rising group of young Americans a few years ago, Harrison reached 43rd in the world in 2012. He entered this week 158th.Its frustrating, he said. The beautiful thing is Im 24 and Ive got time to figure this out.Also Tuesday, wild card Stefan Kozlov beat Benjamin Becker, 6-1, 6-2; qualifier Brian Baker outlasted fellow American Austin Krajicek, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2; and John-Patrick Smith ousted Jordan Thompson, 6-4, 6-4.
