• Berdych continues dominance of Monaco

  8/17/11 1:32 AM | Ricky Dimon
  Tomas Berdych takes care of Juan Monaco in straight sets on Tuesday in Cincinnati. Berdych awaits either Ivo Karlovic or Nicolas Almagro in the third round.
  
  
  Tomas Berdych improved to 5-0 lifetime against Juan Monaco with a 7-6(2), 6-0 victory in the second round of the Western & Southern Open on Tuesday. Berdych recovered from a break deficit in the first set then raced away with the match to advance after one hour and 36 minutes of play.
  
  Monaco, fresh off a win over Tommy Haas on Monday, came out fast and seized his only break of the day at 1-1. Berdych, however, fought back and recovered the break at 2-3. Both players held from there en route to a tiebreaker and the rest of the way it was all Berdych. The ninth-ranked Czech dominated the 'breaker seven points to two, clinching with a service winner that forced Monaco into a return error.
  
  Despite a decent showing in set one, Monaco disappeared in the second. The 39th-ranked Argentine did not win a single game and he won a mere two points in three return games. Berdych converted three of eight break chances then wrapped up the proceedings with a routine hold at 5-0.
  
  Montreal's No. 8 seed recorded nine aces and two double-faults. He awaits either Ivo Karlovic or Nicolas Almagro for third-round action on Thursday.
