Yishai Uliel played tonight (Tuesday) for the first time in the ATP tournament and was defeated in a little over an hour.
The Israeli tennis player, ranked 373 in the world, received a free ticket to the St. Petersburg tournament from the organizers, but the experience was shorter than expected, when he lost 6: 1, 6: 1 against John Milman (57 in the world).
Uliel, who was broken twice in the first set and a total of five times in the entire game, finished his way into the Russian city after 66 minutes of tennis after failing to be a worthy opponent for the Australian.
Milman will meet in the second round the Russian Aslan Kratzev, who is known to have grown up in Israel but left at the age of 16 with his father.
