After three years, Lleyton Hewitt has returned to the Legg Mason Tennis Classic and found success so far as he defeated wildcard Donald Young in straight sets. Playing his first match since Wimbledon, the 2004 Washington champion looked to be in top form and won with a score of 75 62 in a match which featured nine breaks of serve. Since Hewitt has never played Young before he used the advice from fellow Australians Chris Guccione and Carsten Ball to prepare him for the match.
Mikhail Youzhny won his first round match as well, on his debut in Washington. The Russian played American Robert Kendrick and defeated him in three sets, battling it out to win the first set after Kendrick was on serve to try to seize it. The score was 75 36 61, where in the last set the American was only able to win 9 points.
Another American John Isner had opposite fortunes as he beat Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan in straight sets, 76(8) 63
