History for Noah Rubin! His first Grand Slam victory and Top 20 victory. In straight-sets!
Noah Rubin's decision to leave Wake Forest after one year looks smarter and smarter by the minute. After us East Coasters went to bed, the 19-year-old notched his first career major win over the No. 17 seed Benoit Paire from France, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5).
Rubin used his cat-like speed and reflexes to frustrate Paire, who lived up to his reputation as a head case. The powerful Frenchman hit 61 winners and 18 aces, to Rubin's 22 winners and five aces.
