Montreal, Canada (GenevaLunch) – Rafael Nadal had an easy time in his comeback match after a 10-week break to recover from injured knees. His opponent, fellow Spaniard David Ferrer retired hurt after only 36 minutes of the first set. Ferrer started with one knee strapped and twice called for the trainer before retiring while trailing 3-4. Andy Roddick, the fifth seed, beat Russian Igor Andreev 6-1 7-6 but was not happy with the slow courts and the change in the brand of balls used for the Rogers Cup.

Juan Carlos Ferrero beat Frenchman Gael Monfils 6-3 7-5 and will next face Andy Murray in a chance for revenge after losses at Queen’s and Wimbledon this year. Stanislas Wawrinka beat Kazak Andrey Golubev 7-5 6-4 and will face his Olympic gold medalist partner Roger Federer in the next round.

In the Cincinnati Open Kim Clijsters continued her successful return from a two-year break with a 6-2 7-5 victory over Patty Schnyder.
