Andy Roddick(Above) beat Richard Berankis 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the opening round at the Memphis ATP Tour event on Tuesday night.
The two-time winner in Memphis will face Janko Tipsarevic in the second round.
Roddick, playing for the first time since the Australian Open, had plenty of unforced errors but produced 23 aces with his strong serve.
"It was one of those days where I felt if I made a first serve the point was done, didn't have to do much work after that," Roddick said. "That gave me a chance. And I played a little bit more aggressive in the third set."
Defending champion Sam Querrey(Below), the tournament's No. 5 seed, opened with a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 6-4 victory over Denis Istomin, snapping a three-match winless streak to open the season. Querrey had lost first-round matches in Sydney, Melbourne and San Jose to start the year and had dropped six straight since to mid-October.
