Top-seeded American Mardy Fish was a second-round loser Wednesday at the $385,000 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.

Fish was shown the door by Indian qualifier Rohan Bopanna 7-6 (8-6), 7-5 on the grass courts at the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Fourth-seeded Russian Igor Kunitsyn and seventh-seeded Canadian Frank Dancevic avoided second-round upsets, as Kunitsyn drilled fellow Russian Mikhail Ledovskikh 6-1, 6-1 and Dancevic overcame American qualifier Brendan Evans 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3).

One other second-rounder saw Indian wild card Prakash Amritraj take out American Jesse Levine, while one final first-round bout had Spaniard Ivan Navarro besting South African Rik De Voest 7-5, 6-4.

On Thursday, second-round matches will come for defending Newport champion Fabrice Santoro and 2007 runner-up Nicolas Mahut. The second-seeded Santoro will meet Pakistani Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi, while Mahut will encounter American Vincent Spadea.

The 2008 Newport titlist will collect $64,000.
