Nadal packs punch, Ivanovic crashes out

NEW YORK (AFP) - World No. 1 Rafael Nadal wasted no time booking his place in the third round, steamrolling Ryler DeHeart while women's top seed Ana Ivanovic became the biggest casualty of the US Open.

French qualifier Julie Coin scored one of the most shocking upsets in Grand Slam history Thursday, sending world No. 1 Ivanovic crashing out in the second round.

Coin, who is ranked 188th in the world, was making her Grand Slam debut after successfully coming through the qualifying rounds.

She had tried but failed earlier this year to qualify for the other three Grand Slams - Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon.

The 25-year-old Coin clinched the 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win on her third match point in the one hour, 57 minute match at the main Arthur Ashe Stadium.

"Today I felt nervous at the beginning and then it went away," said Coin. "I don't know how I did it.

"I am not thinking about anything right now. Just enjoying the moment."

Ivanovic looked like the more nervous of the two in the deciding third set. She posted a total of eight double faults and made 37 unforced errors to 26 for Coin.

"This is very disappointing to me but something I have to accept," Ivanovic said. "I never saw her (Coin) play before.

"She played a lot better than I expected. She served very well."
