Kentucky's Witten upsets Andreev at U.S. Open

Jesse Witten's pals from his days at the University of Kentucky are going to be sticking around at the U.S. Open longer than they expected. And longer than he did, too. The 276th-ranked Witten earned the first tour-level victory of his career Tuesday at Flushing Meadows, upsetting No. 29-seeded Igor Andreev of Russia 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. Witten is originally from Naples, Fla., and he played college tennis at Kentucky, reaching the NCAA singles championship match in 2002.
