Marat Safin advanced to the second round. He beat wildcard Alexandre Sidorenko of France 6-4 6-4 6-4. The Russian had some blips in the match but managed to wrap it up in straight sets. He will play Frenchman Josselin Ouanna in the next round. The two players have never played in ATP competition.
If you were watching the match on American TV, you would have heard John McEnroe trashing Safin throughout the match and acting like Safin was going to lose when it could not have been more further from the truth. The man is extra ridiculous as a sportscaster, so it is going to be a long two weeks of sportscasting nonsense.

I agree, John McEnroe is horrible as an announcer, so annoying, i usually have to watch it on mute
I usually mean to put it on mute but then get sucked into being amazed at what passes for sportscasting. The funny part is he is not even the worst one.
