WASHINGTON (AP) Michael Chang beat Martin Lee 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 Monday night to advance to the second round of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic.

In a back-and-forth match, Chang jumped out to a 3-0 lead in just 11 minutes. But Lee began fought back to 4-all before Chang broke Lee's serve to take the first set.

"I'm just trying to change things around a little bit," Chang said. "I had my opportunities, and I'm not getting any younger so I might as well go for them. You've got to take it to these guys."

Chang trailed 4-0 in the second set before rallying to pull within 5-4, but Lee served out the set, finishing with an ace up the middle.

"I think the second set I lost my way a little bit. I hit a patch where I was making quite a few errors, but Martin started to play better in the second set, too," Chang said. "I think it was good that toward the end of the second set I actually had an opportunity to get back into the set. I think that helped me going into the third."

Chang broke Lee's serve in the sixth game of the third set to coast to the win.

Fernando Vicente, the No. 12 seed, squandered a 4-0 second-set lead before advancing to the second round with a 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-2 win over Olivier Rochus.

After breaking Rochus' serve to close out the first set, Vicente jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second, but Rochus won four straight games. Vincente threw his racket into the fence during the 4-3 changeover.
