Roddick, Safin thru’

AFP, Paris
Quickfire Andy Roddick and marathon man Marat Safin sprinkled a little stardust over the beleaguered Paris Masters as the American and Russian crowd-pullers raced into the third round of the 2.45-million-euro tournament
Roddick, top seed in the absence of world number one Roger Federer, brushed aside Armenia's Sargis Sargsian6-2,6-2injust51 minutes to set up a third round clash against either Max Mirnyi of Belarus or 15th seeded Chilean Fernando Gonzalez.
The 22-year-old Roddick, seeking his fifth title of 2004, sported a new cropped hairstyle and discarded his baseball cap, but his booming game was firing as usual as he stormed to his 71 st match win of the year.
It was the former US Open winner's first tournament since losing to Federer in the final in Bangkok four
weeksago.
With five of the world's top ten skipping this event, including Federer and Andre Agassi, the organisers were praying that fonner world number ones Roddick and Safin did not fall by the wayside.
Safin kept his part of the bargain, as well as the lid on his timebomb temper, to ensure his campaign for a third Paris tide stayed on course with a battling 6-7, 6-3, 7-5 victory over Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic.
The sixth-seed Safin, champion here in 2000 and 2002 and who also won the Madrid Masters in October, treated the crowd to his trademark heady cocktail of simmering rage and sublime tennis in the 2hr 25min encounter.
After losing the first set, Safin became frustrated and picked up a warning for an audible obscenity in the first game of the second set from umpire Romano Grillotti and promptly fell 2-0 behind.
Safin saved a break point in the third game before mounting a styl-
ish comeback to eventually overpower the Croatian.
Seventh-seeded Gaston Gaudio's hopes of adding the Paris Masters title to the French Open crown he won five months ago collapsed at the first hurdle when he was beaten 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 by Spain's Feliciano Lopez.
The Spaniard, who won his first career tide in Vienna two weeks ago, now faces 11th seeded Romanian Andrei Pavel, last year’s beaten finalist here, for a place in the quarter-finals.
The Czech Republic's 16th seed Jiri Novak, fresh from his victory in Basel at the weekend, lost to Russia's Mikhail Youzhny, who took the St Petersburg tournament on Sunday, 6-3,7-5.
Youzhny next meets third seed Tim Henman, the defending champion.
That's good news for the Briton who lost to Novak in Switzerland last week as well as at the Olympic Games.
