But the Swiss star turned it on at the right time to take it 7-2. The second set also went to a tiebreak and the birthday boy gave himself the perfect present, winning the set and with it, the match. Second seed Rafael Nadal was up against Marat Safin in a mouth-watering match-up. Nadal served for the first set but the Russian refused to succumb to the Spaniard, taking it to a tiebreak. But the three-time French Open champion found his range when it was needed to take the set 7-4. The second set was a no contest as Nadal sailed through without dropping a single game to enter the third round. In another match, fifth-seeded Andy Roddick got past Frenchman Arnaud Clement 6-1, 7-6. If he beats Marcos Baghdatis in the next round, Roddick will pick up the 400th victory of his career.
