Dechy and Jankovic make quick exit

Neither Nathalie Dechy of France nor Jelena Jankovic of Serbia & Montenegro will be entering the US Open in a positive frame of mind.

The ninth-seeded Dechy and the 10th-seeded Jankovic both were upset on Monday in the first round of the $1.26m (€1.03m) Pilot Pen Tennis hardcourt tournament, the final warm-up event before next week’s US Open.
