In an evil first-round matchup, Juan Carlos Ferrero and lucky loser Nicolas Lapentti had to play one another early in the tournament. The world no. 29 took the first set, but the Ecuadoran was able to sneak off with the second set in the tiebreak. Ferrero then got his act together and steamrolled Lapentti in the third set for a 6-4 6-7(5) 6-0 victory after playing 150 minutes.
JCF moves on to play countryman Tommy Robredo in another evil matchup in second round. The two players are even at 2-2 in their head-to-head matchup with Ferrero winning their last meeting in Cincinnati three years ago.
