Spotlight on Pablo Cuevas

Pablo Cuevas (#71) became the talk of Moscow this week as he slayed two players ranked much higher than him, allowing him to reach the semifinals, where he lost to Victor Troicki.  This performance here should propel his rank next week.  This week, Cuevas won over Nikolay Davydenko and Radek Stepanek, both very experienced veterans of the tour and former Top 10 players.
