Defending champion Lukas Rosol got his 2015 Winston-Salem Open off to a good start in a straight-set victory over Ernests Gulbis. The 30-year-old Czech was one of the top headliners during Monday's first-round play.

While this may not be the most star-studded tournament on the ATP Tour, it will offer the participants a great chance to build some nice momentum ahead of the U.S. Open, which starts in a week.

Below is a brief recap for some of Monday's bigger results.

Monday Recap

Rosol may be the defending champion, but the draw afforded him no luxuries as he kicked off his tourney against Ernests Gulbis. The two engaged in a great back-and-forth match with neither guy budging on serve. Rosol won 76 percent of his service points, while Gulbis was a fairly robust 74 percent on serve.

In the end, the difference proved to be the fact Rosol saved all six of Gulbis' break-point opportunities.

"It's not easy to defend the title," Rosol said after his win, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com). "It was not easy, because two weeks ago I lost to (Gulbis) at Montreal in the second round. So I'm happy to continue winning here. I was trying to concentrate on every point. Ernests was starting to serve very well in the second set, so that made things tricky. But I was happy to finish it in the tiebreak."

The road to a repeat won't get any easier for Rosol from here. He'll play Jerzy Janowicz, his opponent in last year's final, in the second round. Janowicz received a bye in the first round, so he'll be fresh when the two meet Tuesday afternoon.

Donald Young was among the more notable Americans to play Monday, losing 6-3, 6-3 to Denis Istomin. The 26-year-old's serve let him down, as he picked up four-double faults and won just 56 percent of his first-service points.<...
