ARTICLE - No. 2 Ferrero upset at Copa Telmex
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) -- Nicolas Devilder of France upset second-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-0 on Wednesday, pulling off his best ever result in the Copa Telmex round robin.
Also, two of Argentina's leading hopes, third-seeded Agustin Calleri and eighth-seeded Jose Acasuso withdrew injured.
Devilder lost to Ferrero 6-2, 6-4 last week in the second round at Costa do Sauipe, Brazil, and was on course to fall in straight sets again on Wednesday when the former French Open champion cruised through the first set. But they broke each other twice in the second set, Devilder dominated the tiebreaker, and in the third set, Devilder snapped up three break chances while Ferrero squandered a trio.
Ferrero can still win his three-man group and advance to the quarterfinals if he beats Nicolas Lapentti of Ecuador on Thursday.
