BARCELONA, Spain -- Top-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero beat Franco Squillari of Argentina 6-4, 6-3 Wednesday to advance to the third round of the Open Seat Godo tennis.
Ferrero showed confidence and comfort after winning the title in Monte Carlo last week.
"I don't feel under pressure that everyone sees me as the favorite to win this tournament as the No.1 seed," Ferrero said. "I am feeling very comfortable on the court having defended all the ranking points at Tennis Masters Monte-Carlo. The balls are different here. They are heavier, but I soon got a good feel for them."
Ferrero, the French Open runner-up, says he's focusing on Paris.
"I am setting my goals on winning Roland Garros this year," he said. "I also want to do well at the U.S. Open and the Tennis Masters Cup in Houston is very important to me."
