Tomas Berdych has booked a place in the third round of the Paris Masters after recovering from dropping a set against Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
The 2010 Wimbledon finalist managed to seal a 6-3 5-6 7-5 victory in the second round.
Berdych looked in trouble at the beginning of the first set when he immediately lost serve, but he bounced back instantly with a break point of his own.
The 30-year-old needed just one more break of serve as he wrapped up the first set, but Roger-Vasselin showed signs of a comeback by battling to break point early in the second set.
Despite taking a 2-0 lead, Roger-Vasselin was unable to hold as Berdych broke and later gained a second break point to take a 4-3 lead.
His advantage did not last long, though, as the Czech's opponent broke to draw level at 4-4 before breaking again to send the match into a deciding set.
It was difficult to separate the two as just one non-converted break point by Roger-Vasselin was the closest that the set came to a break after 10 games.
The deadlock was finally broken when Berdych snatched serve to take a crucial 6-5 lead before successfully serving for the match.
