TORONTO — Second-seeded Spaniard Rafael Nadal advanced to the third round of the Rogers Cup with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Jesse Levine today.

Levine, who was born in Ottawa before moving to the U.S. as a teenager, took advantage of a sluggish Nadal early. He broke the Wimbledon champion in the fourth game before taking a 4-1 lead in the first set.

But Levine failed to capitalize on a break-point chance in the next game. Up 4-3, he missed another break point, and Nadal took over from there.

All matches were delayed nearly six hours by thunderstorms.

Fellow Spaniard David Ferrer also reached the third round, beating American Robby Ginepri 6-4, 6-4. It was just Ferrer's second career win in six matchups against Ginepri.

There was two early upsets. Croatian Marin Cilic ousted 12th-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo 6-3, 6-4, while Russian Igor Andreev beat 16th-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.

Cilic, ranked 44th in the world, will play sixth-seeded American Andy Roddick in the next round. Andreev will meet Nadal.

In other action, Russian Marat Safin beat American Sam Querrey, 6-3, 6-3 in a first-round match that began Tuesday before being suspended by rain. Safin was to play ninth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland in a second-round match later Wednesday.
