Round-up: Djokovic rusty on return
Eurosport - Wed, 12 Aug 22:27:00 2009
World number four Novak Djokovic was forced to work hard before booking his place in the third round of the Canada Masters in Montreal with a 6-4 7-6(6) win over Canada's Peter Polansky.
Eighth seed Nikolay Davydenko of Russia joined Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Djokovic in round three with a 7-6(4) 7-6(2) win over France's Paul-Henri Mathieu.
In first round action, 10th seed Fernando Verdasco needed three sets to see off fellow Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 6-1 6-7(5) 6-1.
Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber took the scalp of 17th seed Tomas Berdych but it was a war of attrition, 7-6(5) 6-7(9) 6-4.
Another seed to fall was the 16th seed Radek Stepanek who tumbled out 6-3 6-4 to Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan.
The 15th seed Tommy Robredo of Spain beat Alex Bogomolov Jr (US) 6-4 6-2, while Germany's Tommy Haas produced a battling display to see off Croatia's Ivo Karlovic, 4-6 7-6(3) 6-4.
Fernando Gonzalez of Chile came from a set down and saved a match point in the second set tie break to see off Canada's Milos Raonic 4-6 7-6 6-4.
Earlier in the day, Jan Hernych (Czech Republic) beat Julien Benneteau (France) 6-2 6-3, David Ferrer (Spain) beat Viktor Troicki (Serbia) 6-3 6-0, Alejandro Falla (Colombia) beat Dudi Sela (Israel) 6-4 3-6 6-3, John Isner (US) beat Jesse Levine (US) 6-3 6-4 and Victor Hanescu (Romania) beat Juergen Melzer (Austria) 6-4 6-3
Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero, who had to qualify his way into the main draw, blitzed wild card Lleyton Hewitt 6-1 6-4 in a first-round battle of the former world number ones in front of a sparse early morning crowd.

Nole is the best!
It is interesting that most of comments are on news about Djokovic, Troicki, Murray... even during the matches...
It looks like only Brits and Serbs are regular visitors to Eurosport news :)
My friends recommended me a very interesting place ~~~ AgelessMatch @ com ~~~ It's a nice and free place for Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. You may wanna check it out.
Haas' game against Ivo would have been quite tough. The guy's really improved in his game. Keep going Tommy
Sanches-If you are watching Rogers Cup,did you see Federer got first set in tie breaker against wild card.Is it anything better than Nole's performance.Long pause caused losing of top form,but they need more matches no doubt.
After 5-6 weeks of break,Nole was not impressive partly understandable,but player of his ranking would play much better.This performance is not promising,however it is just first match after holiday.I am expecting increasing of form in next matches from Djokovic.
