Djokovic, Blake notch wins; Gonzalez upset at Rogers Masters

Tennis Betting Lines

08/08/2007 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Third-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic posted a second-round victory, sixth-seeded Fernando Gonzalez suffered a second-round upset and ninth-seeded American James Blake was a first- round winner Tuesday at the $2.45 million Rogers Masters -- the sixth of nine Masters Series events this year.

The 20-year-old Wimbledon and French Open semifinalist Djokovic handled 30- year-old German Nicolas Kiefer 6-3, 6-3 in an uneventful match.

Gonzalez, the Aussie Open runner-up, of Chile was upset by Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-7 (7-2), 7-6 (7-1), 6-4.

Blake got past dangerous Austrian Jurgen Melzer 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) on the hardcourts at Uniprix Stadium, while 12th-seeded German Tommy Haas joined Blake in the second round with a 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) victory over tough Argentine Agustin Calleri. The win marked the 400th of Haas' solid ATP career.

Up next for Blake will be former world No. 1 and two-time major titlist Lleyton Hewitt, who is unseeded this week, while Haas will meet American qualifier Michael Russell.

Playing his first tennis in almost three months, 13th-seeded Brit Andy Murray returned with a victory by beating American Robby Ginepri 6-4, 6-4, on Day 3. The world No. 14 Murray had been sidelined with a wrist injury since mid-May, forcing him to miss both the French Open and Wimbledon.

Russian Marat Safin was trailing Robin Soderling 1-2 in the first set of their opening-round bout when the Swede retired with a left wrist injury. Safin, a former world No. 1 and two-time major champion, will battle world No. 2 Rafael Nadal in a marquee second-rounder here on Wednesday.

Safin captured this popular Canadian event in 2000.

Marcos Baghdatis from Cyprus downed Spain's Carlos Moya 7-6 (9-7), 6-1 and Croat Mario Ancic beat Canadian Frederic Niemeyer 6-4, 6-2. Additional first- round wins came for Finn Jarkko Nieminen and 6-foot-10 Croat Ivo Karlovic, who will face defending Rogers Masters champion Roger Federer in the second round after sneaking past Belarusian Max Mirnyi 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3).

The great Federer captured last year's Rogers Masters in Toronto by beating Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the final. This event alternates between Montreal and Toronto each year.

This week's top seeds are the reigning Wimbledon, U.S. Open and Australian Open champion Federer and the reigning French Open titlist Nadal. Federer also captured this Canadian event in 2004, while Nadal was the winner in 2005 in Montreal.
