Bjorn Fratangelo, the third seed in 18s, pulled out a tough three-setter after losing the first set to Christopher Diaz on Monday. On Tuesday, he wasn’t as fortunate. Junior Ore, the 29th seed from Gaithersburg, Md., defeated Fratangelo, 6-2, 6-4, to advance to Wednesday’s round of 16. “A key was keep my focus, keep calmed down and relax,” Ore said. “Obviously he came from being the top junior in the world, just won the (junior) French, so I was really excited. “I knew I had to keep my emotions in control. I just had to press and trust my game.” Ore let out a shout on the final point. “Yes, it’s emotional for me that I won this match,” he said. “After the Open last year, I went down to Florida to work with Steve Smith. ”All I did was basically rebuild my strokes. I didn’t play points or anything. All I basically did was hit off the cone for hours and hours and hours. “
