Lee, Gonzalez advance

BEIJING: Asian No. 1 Lee Hyung-taik of South Korea led the way into the second round of the China Open tennis tournament on Monday, as World No. 7 Fernando Gonzalez broke a miserable post-Wimbledon run.

Lee, seeded six here and enjoying his best season in the rankings at 43rd, was a comfortable 6-3, 6-3 winner over little-known Chilean Adrian Garcia, building on his solid run at the U.S. Open that took him to the fourth round.

Chile’s second seed Gonzalez fought back after conceding the first set to Austrian Alexander Peya to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Bopanna in main draw

Meanwhile, Rohan Bopanna recorded a 7-6(5), 6-7(5), 6-1 victory over Phillip King of the U.S. in the third and final qualifying round.

The 252nd ranked Bopanna, who has assured himself of five ATP points for the qualification, has drawn the seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in the first round of the main draw.

The results (first round):

At Beijing: ATP China Open: Kevin Kim bt Xu Xin-Yuan 6-3, 7-5; Paul Capdeville bt Danai Udonchoke 6-2, 6-2; Lee Hyung-taik bt Adrian Garcia 6-4, 6-3; Bjoern Phau bt Davide Sanguinetti 5-7, 7-6(9), 6-2; Fernando Gonzalez bt Alexander Peya 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.

At Nusa Dua (Indonesia): WTA Bali International: Youlina Fedossova bt Hsieh Su-wei 6-0, 6-0; Edina Gallovits bt Jarmila Gajdosova 6-1, 6-0; Elise Tamaela bt Jill Craybas 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2.— Agencies
