Antonio Veic of Croatia, currently ranked #227, is one of the only two players ranked outside the Top 200, to have reached the third round of the French Open. The other one is Leonard Mayer of Argentina, ranked #217. Veic upset Russian veteran, Nikolay Davydenko in the second round 36 62 75 36 61 and won over Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay who abandoned the game in the first round. However today, he was bamboozled out of court by world #1 Rafael Nadal, 61 63 60. Even then, this should be a great learning experience for Veic whose ranking should zoom up after this French Open.
