Blake Wins, Jenkins, Fish Flop at ATP New Haven

"After playing good in the first set, you never expect to have a tough match like that," Robredo said. "It's tough to get in a rhythm after that. He did good to come back, but it's my mistakes that allowed him to come back. I prefer to win 6-0, 6-0 in my matches and make it quick so I can go watch a movie. I'm going back to my room now to watch a tape I have of Million Dollar Baby."

Jenkins nerves showed in the third, with a double fault setting up match point for Robredo.

"After the second set, I felt like I had good momentum going into the third set," Jenkins said. "But he made adjustments in the third set. He made me play every point."

Other seeds advancing on the day were No. 5 Feliciano Lopez (d. Sanguinetti) and No. 15 Paradorn Srichaphan, who edged France's Cyril Saulnier in two tiebreaks.

American wildcard James Blake continued his torrid play, allowing only five games to France's Michael Llodra, while Mardy Fish's struggle to return from wrist surgery was compounded by a straight-set loss to German Philip Kohlschreiber.

"My wrist hurt more than I thought it would," Fish said. "If he hit the first serve hard, I would have to block it back quickly. That didn't bother me at all. What bothered me was a slower-paced ball when I had to generate my own pace. The doctor said I can't hurt it any worse, as I said, but it still hurts."

Blake enjoyed the vocal support of family and friends during his win from the "J-Block" in the stands.

"Being around so many friends, people who are supporting me, people I have known since I was a kid, is a great feeling," Blake said of New Haven. "You travel the world, and it is very seldom that we are in our hometown."

Other unseeded winners were France's Fabrice Santoro (d. Carlsen, bagel in the second), Belgian Christophe Rochus (d. A.Martin), Argentina's Juan Ignacio Chela (d. Baghdatis), Israeli qualifier Andy Ram (d. Mello), Romanian Victor Hanescu (d. (LL) Minar), and Spain's Fernando Verdasco (d. (14) Soderling in two tiebreaks).
