BASEL, Switzerland, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Roger Federer needed three sets Wednesday to earn a spot in the quarterfinals of the Swiss Indoors tennis tournament.
Federer, seeded third in the tournament he's won four of the last five years, defeated Jarkko Nieminen 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. Federer lost his serve twice in the second set but only faced one break point total in the first and third sets.
He cashed in five of his seven break-point chances and capped the match by losing just eight points in five service games of the third set.
Marcos Baghdatis took a lengthy 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (2-7), 6-3 decision from Michael Lammer in another second-round match. Baghdatis recorded the sole break of the match in the third set.
Robin Haas defeated Marco Chiudinelli 6-2, 7-6 (9-7) behind a 12-ace attack. Chiudinelli was inserted into the draw when second-seeded Andy Murray withdrew with a left leg issue.
Sixth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic also withdrew, stopping play after Florian Mayer had built a 5-1 first-set lead.
No. 7-seeded Andy Roddick topped Tommy Haas 6-3, 6-4; Lukasz Kubot beat Tobias Kamke 5-7, 7-5, 6-2; and Radek Stepanek ran over Santiago Giraldo 6-1, 6-3 in Wednesday's other first-round matches.
