Radek Stepanek has knocked out world number 14 Nicolas Almagro in the first round of the Rogers Cup in Montreal.
The Czech world number 51 came through a tough opening set 6-3, but he missed the chance to serve out the match in the second as Almagro fought back to take the tie-break 7-4.
However, Stepanek battled through the decider 6-3 and clinched the match.
The veteran will now take on either Canadian wildcard Vasek Pospisil or American John Isner for a spot in round three.
