Fifth seed Roddick makes solid start in Montreal

By Simon Cambers

MONTREAL (Reuters) - Wimbledon champion Roger Federer reached the third round of the Montreal Masters with a 7-6 7-6 win over big-serving Croat Ivo Karlovic on Wednesday.

The world number one, in his first outing since winning his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title last month, could not force a single break point but came out on top in two tiebreaks to advance.

Defending champion Federer will now meet Italian qualifier Fabio Fognini, who upset 13th seed Andy Murray 6-2 6-2 to reach round three.

Roddick, who won the title in Washington last weekend, trailed 5-3 in the second-set tiebreak before winning four consecutive points to clinch victory.

"He started being a lot more aggressive playing higher risk in the second set," Roddick said. "It was working for the most part and I was kind of just hanging on there in the second set.

"But I was just able to kind of hang around long enough, win a couple points in the breaker. It was definitely a tale of two sets."

The American will now play Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus or Dutchman Robin Haase in the third round.  Continued...
