The Swiss, who was made the first seed at the injury-forced absence of World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, made a spate of 50 unforced errors compared to Simon's 38 on his way to the 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 loss.
Like Simon, another Masters Cup debutant Andy Murray of Britain beat Andy Roddick of the United States 6-4, 1-6, 6-1 in another group match.
