Ferrero, Gaudio, Cruise Into R2 in Valencia

Top seed Juan Carlos Ferrero improved to 10-1 for the clay season and 25-6 for the year when he advanced to the second round of the CAM Open Comunidad Valenciana Tuesday. Ferrero, a hot favorite for next week's Telecom Italia Masters, defeated fellow Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-4, 6-4.

Ferrero: "It wasn't a good match because it is difficult to play against someone who you practice with so often."

"I am taking a risk with my clay court schedule. It is pretty heavy from now up until Roland Garros. I am scheduled to have one week off before Paris. Playing here is not as tiring as competing abroad. I wanted to see this tournament happen and now that we have the event, I want to see it grow."
