NEWPORT: Second-seeded Grigor Dimitrov and fifth-seeded Alex Bogomolov advanced to the second round of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships on Monday.
Dimitrov had a 6-2, 6-4 win over Brian Dabul, a semifinalist in Newport last year, and Bogomolov rallied to beat Mischa Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-1.
Sixth-seeded Olivier Rochus, a finalist on Newport's grass courts last year, also advanced, beating Greg Jones, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
John Isner is scheduled to play Tuesday. He was elevated to the No. 1 seeding when defending champion Mardy Fish withdrew after being added to the United States Davis Cup team.
In other first-round matches, Donald Young defeated Paul Capdeville 6-2, 6-1; Matthias Bachinger edged Dustin Brown 7-6 (7), 6-7 (5), 6-1; and Ruben Bemelmans ousted Denis Gremelmayr 6-4, 6-2.
The tournament is played in conjunction with Hall of Fame induction ceremonies that highlight the week. Andre Agassi will headline the 2011 induction on Saturday during a centre-court ceremony.
