Russia's Yevgeny Kafelnikov, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4, in the completion of their rain-suspended third-round match.

Roddick made quick work of Brazilian Flavio Sarretta, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3, to extend his winning streak to 15 matches.

The third-seeded Davenport raced through the first set in 22 minutes, but squandered the second-set tiebreaker before pulling out a 6-0, 6-7 (6-8), 6-2 win over No. 19 Nadia Petrova of Russia.

Monday, Agassi will take the court for the third straight day when he meets unseeded fellow American Taylor Dent, who pulled out a five-set win over No. 15 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile on Saturday.
