WASHINGTON (AP) Michael Chang, winless since 2000, beat Martin Lee 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 Monday night to advance to the second round of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic.

The 30-year-old Chang jumped out to a 3-0 lead in just 11 minutes, but Lee fought back to tie it at 4-4 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, the 1989 French Open champion who has 34 career ATP Tout titles, trailed 4-0 in the second set before rallying to pull to 5-4, but Lee served out the set, finishing with an ace.

"I think the second set I lost my way a little bit," Chang said. "I hit a patch where I was making quite a few errors, but Martin started to play better in the second set, too.

"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.

In a late match, Jerome Golmard overcame a shoulder injury to beat 11th-seeded Jan-Michael Gambill 7-6 (1), 1-6, 6-4.

"I was upset when I saw the draw," Golmard said. "I was upset to play Gambill in the first round, but now I'm upset about my shoulder.

Golmard, playing in his first tournament since Wimbledon, appeared to be going through the motions in the second set, even calling for the trainer before the start of the third.

"I've practiced very hard this six weeks to get better," the Frenchman said. "But I won so the pain is less."

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 took 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.
