Roddick, Rusedski Through at ATP Indianapolis

Roddick lost the middle tiebreak and weathered 18 aces in edging Russian Dmitry Tursunov, while the veteran Brit shook off a match point, coming from a set down to defeat Wimbledon doubles champ Weslie Moodie.

"His placement and first serves surprised me," said Roddick, who was out-aced 18 to 17 by Tursunov. "It was do-or-die for him on every shot, and I was a little erratic on my forehand."

American Jan-Michael Gambill got a rare win, since on the other side of the net was 15-year-old tour punching bag Donald Young, who continues to receive ATP wildcards due to the pull of his management firm IMG.

"When you're losing, it is not fun," said the 15-year-old Young, now 0-6 in ATP play and not enjoying his trial by fire. "I assume by the time I get close to their age I should be able to beat them."

In another all-American match-up, Robby Ginepri ousted No. 8 seed Vince Spadea in straight sets.

Other un-seeds into the second round were Brit wildcard Andy Murray (d. (LL) Witten), Americans (WC) Rajeev Ram (d. Schalken), Paul Goldstein (d. Falla, bagel in the first) and Kevin Kim (d. Karlovic in three), Israel's Noam Okun (d. (Q) B.Evans), Swiss George Bastl (d. Morrison), Swede Jonas Bjorkman (d. Dlouhy), Ecuador's Giovanni Lapentti (d. (Q) Mas.Washington), German Bjorn Phau (d. Delic in three), and Cyprus' Marcos Baghdatis (d. (Q) De Chaunac from a set down).

The 6-foot-4 serve-and-volleying wildcard Ram is from Indiana, and last week lost to Murray in the final of the Aptos Challenger.

"I've been working hard on my tennis," Ram said. "It feels good to have it pay off with good results. Definitely to get to the final of a tourney and come back two days later and win in Indianapolis is great."
