Eighth seed Andreas Seppi came from behind to post an opening-round victory Monday at the $1 million Kremlin Cup.
The Italian Seppi overcame oft-injured Russian Igor Andreev 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) in just over two hours on the indoor hardcourts at Olympic Stadium. The 2005 Moscow champion Andreev has been slowed by sore knees recently.
"You cannot beat anyone playing on one leg," he said.
Russia's Teymuraz Gabashvili pleased the home crowd on Day 1 with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Slovak Karol Beck, while another Russian, Igor Kunitsyn, snuck past compatriot Andrey Kuznetsov 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. Kunitsyn is rewarded with a second-round match against this week's top seed, Serbian Janko Tipsarevic, while Gabashvili will encounter fourth-seeded former world No. 5 star and fellow countryman Nikolay Davydenko in the round of 16. Davydenko is a three- time Moscow champ.
Additional Monday wins came for Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin and Spaniard Pere Riba, who will meet second-seeded and reigning Moscow champion Viktor Troicki of Serbia in his next outing. Troicki topped Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in last year's Moscow finale.
