ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Top seed Tomas Berdych crashed out of the St. Petersburg Open in his first match Thursday, losing in straight sets to Italy's Simone Bolelli.

After a first-round bye, the Czech was shaky in his second-round encounter with Bolelli, landing only 59 percent of his first serves as he lost 7-6 (5), 6-4.

Bolelli's quarterfinal opponent is Portuguese seventh seed Joao Sousa, who beat Spain's Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-3.
