Rojer Begins With A Bang In Miami

Dutchman reaches milestone with opening-round win

Jean-Julien Rojer collected the 350th doubles win of his career Friday when he teamed with Horia Tecau at the Miami Open to defeat recent Indian Wells champion Jack Sock and Nicholas Monroe 6-1, 7-6(2).

Rojer, 36, claimed the first of his 26 titles in 2010 in Tokyo.

In another result of significance, American duo Steve Johnson and Sam Querrey upset top seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo 6-4, 7-6(0). Since beginning the year 7-1, including a title in Sydney, last year’s No. 1 team has gone 2-4 in its past four outings, including back-to-back first-round losses in Indian Wells and Miami.

Eighth seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah defeated Aussie duo Nick Kyrgios and Matt Reid 7-5, 7-5.
