A First for Ferrero
On Court 1, the No. 1 player in the ATP Champions Race and No. 2 seed Juan Carlos Ferrero was able to overcome the El Aynaoui jinx beating the Morrocan for the first time in six meetings in a surprising quick victory of 6-3, 6-4.
"There is a first time for everything," said Ferrero. "I think the key was serving well and making very few errors," added the Spaniard who fired 12 aces compared to nine for Al Aynaoui. "I played an intelligent match, executing the right shots at the right time."
Ferrero now moves into the third round where he will meet Karol Kucera of Slovakia. Kucera needed two tie-breaks to oust French Open finalist Martin Verkerk.
