Taylor Dent:Taylor Dent Tennis-American Taylor Dent favors a pure serve-and-volley style of play. He possesses a powerful serve and strong volleys. He is the owner of the fourth fastest serve in the world, at a velocity 
of 243 km/h. Andy Roddick, Ivo Karlović and Joachim Johansson are the only three players to have served faster.
Taylor Dent beat Spain’s Ivan Navarro 6-4, 5-7, 6-7 (1), 7-5, 7-6 (9) to continue his inspiring comeback at the US Open.
After 4 hours, five sets and a match he won’t soon forget, Dent grabbed the umpire’s microphone and thanked the raucous crowd.
Dent won on his fourth match point, with a backhand return winner past Navarro that ended a tussle between a pair of serve-and-volleyers who played a lot of short points and high-risk, high-reward tennis.
Ranked 195th and playing in his first US Open since 2005 after a long stint on the sidelines with a back problem, Dent next faces No. 2-ranked Andy Murray in the third round.
