Paradorn powers through to victory after disastrous start in Bangkok
[...]
Spain's Davis Cup pair of Juan Carlos Ferrero and Carlos Moya both shook off weariness to collect tickets into the second round.
Ferrero, the world Number one, looked the more impressive, taming the big game of towering Belgian giant Dick Norman 7-5, 7-6 (7-5).
Third seed Moya, who arrived in Bangkok with his parents and sister, complained of feeling poorly on the flight. But he recovered his strength enough to seal the fate of Czech qualifier Petr Luxa 6-4, 6-3.
Just a few hours of sleep was enough for world Number one Ferrero to get past the Number 125 Norman, who towers at just over two metres (six feet).
Ferrero had to scramble to salvage set points in the tenth game of each set, finally carving out the win in just over 90 minutes as he clinched the victory on his first match point.
"I had two days to make the adjustment from clay court (Davis Cup in Spain) to indoor," said Ferrero. "But I did it -- now I have another day to try and improve even more."
Ferrero said he was pleased to advance over his first hurdle. "It was a great match to win, I'm glad to be into the second round. I only had six hours of sleep last night, not much for the first night."
The Spaniard will Thursday aim for the quarter-finals as he faces Russian-born American Alex Bogomolov, who defeated Italy's Giorgio Galimberti 6-3, 6-3.
