James Blake lost his first round match at the Houston Men’s clay court Championships against the sixth seed Carlos Berlocq of Argentina 4-6  6-2  1-6.

Also through to the next round is the American Sam Querrey, who defeated Eric Prodon of France 6-1  6-4.

In the other matches, Igor Kunitsyn of Russia beat the Belgian Xavier Malisse 6-4  6-2, and Bjorn Phau of Germany got through as his opponent Diego Junqueira of Argentina retired at 6-1  3-0 in Phau’s favour.

The no.1 seed Mardy Fish and the second seeded John Isner got a first round bye.
