LONDON: Spain's Feliciano Lopez defeated Dmitry Tursunov 7-6, 6-3 at Queen's Club on Monday to set up a second round clash with four-time champion Andy Roddick. Lopez enjoyed a shock quarterfinal win over World No.1 Rafael Nadal during an impressive run to the semifinals here last year and the clay-court specialist again had little problem adapting to the lush lawns of West London. British No. 1 Murray is one of the eight top seeds to receive a bye into the second round.At Halle, Taiwan's Yen-Hsun Lu booked his place in the second round of the Gerry Weber Open with a 7-6(2), 6-3 win over Finland's Jarkko Nieminen on Monday. Lu, who reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon last year, finally got into his stride in the second set, but admitted the transition from clay to grass is no easy task. The results: At Halle (Gerry Weber Open): First round: Yen-Hsun Lu bt Jarkko Nieminen 7-6(2), 6-3; Igor Andreev bt Potito Starace 6-4, 6-4; Tobias Kamke bt Julian Reister 4-3 retd'.
