(WC) James Blake def. (7) Benjamin Becker 7-5, 6-4
Two-time Delray Beach finalist James Blake improved to 4-0 lifetime over 7th seed Benjamin Becker late Monday afteroon. The 31-year old American broke at 5-5 in the opening set, then rallied from a 1-3 deficit in the second set. After recovering the service break, Blake took a final service break at 4-4. He completed the one-hour and 16-minute match with 7 aces and three of 5 break points converted.
Blake is next to face either Brian Dabul or 2008 Delray Beach champion Kei Nishikori.
Teymuraz Gabashvili def. (4) John Isner 6-4, 5-7, 7-6(13)
World No. 76 Teymuraz Gabashvili is through to the second round, by virtue of his three-set victory over fourth seed John Isner. The 25-year-old Russian secured his first win since early January, after suffering opening-round exits in Melbourne, San Jose and Memphis. Gabashvili withstood 21 aces and saved four match points en route to a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6(13) success in two hours and 31 minutes.
He will take on Richard Berankis or Juan Martin Del Potro for a place in the quarterfinal.
