PARIS, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Andy Roddick beat fellow American Taylor Dent Wednesday in the second round of the Paris Masters -- the last of nine Masters Series events in 2005.
Roddick, the top seed, finally overcame Dent 6-4, 6-7 (2-7), 7-5. Roddick was coming off his title at Lyon, France, last week where he had his serve broken in five matches on the way to his 20th career title. In this match, he broke Dent twice, including in the third and final set.
Other winners Wednesday were Robby Ginepri, Gaston Gaudio, Thomas Johansson, David Ferrer, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Tommy Robredo and Dominik Hrbaty.
Ginepri outlasted Fernando Verdasco, 6-3, 6-7 (7-9), 6-3, and Hrbaty beat Jean-Rene Lisnard, 6-3, 6-3, to set up a third-round match against Roddick.
