Buse follows grandfather's footsteps with victory at US Open

NEW YORK, Sept 2 : Peruvian Ignacio Buse added a new chapter to his family's U.S. Open story on Wednesday as he came through a five-setter to earn a maiden victory and follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, who last won a match at the tournament in 1958. The 32nd seed beat American Marcos Giron 3-6 6-3 6-3 6-7(6) 6-1 after three hours and 48 minutes on Court Six, finishing off the match with a backhand volley to spark loud cheers from his team and fans in the stands. "It's difficult to find the calm in those situations, but in the fifth set, I just tried to recover mentally," Ignacio said."It's a mental battle out there. I just stayed calm. It's a very special moment." Though the 22-year-old Ignacio never met his grandfather Eduardo, his victory revived a family link to the Grand Slam
