It wasnot quite smooth sailing for top seed Tommy Robredo.
The Spaniard won 6-4, 6-2 but his opponent Alexander Peya of Austria made
him work hard. Peya matched the Spaniard stroke for stroke in the first set.
Robredo, who does not have an overwhelming serve, relied on accurate
groundstrokes to wear his opponent down. Errors crept into the Austrian's game
as the match went on.

Wild card entrant 16-year-old Akash Wagh got a lesson in tennis on and off the courts on Wednesday from No.4 seed Dmitry Tursunov.
However, Wagh gave a good account of himself even in defeat. Tursunov beat Wagh 6-2, 7-5 to advance to the second round.
