Stan Wawrinka showed that world No. 1
Roger Federer may not be far off from receiving some Davis Cup support, with the unseeded Swiss on Tuesday ousting No. 2 seed
David Ferrer in the second round at the ATP stop in Zagreb.
Seeded winners on Tuesday were (3)
Richard Gasquet (d. Sanguinetti, bagel in the second), (4)
Radek Stepanek (d. (Q) Cakl), and (5)
Mario Ancic (d. Turnunov in three).
"I expected such a difficult match as I lost twice before from Tursunov. This time I played more aggressive tennis and it paid off," Ancic said.
Qualifiers into the second round Tuesday were former tour-regular Austrian
Stefan Koubek (d. Minar in three) and Serb Ilia Bozoljac (d. Bracciali), joined by fellow un-seeds
Andreas Seppi (d. (Q) Okun) of Italy and Dane
Kenneth Carlsen (d. Hernych).
Scheduled for Wednesday in Croatia are Soderling vs. (8) Feliciano "F-Lo" Lopez, (1) Ljubicic vs. (WC) Murray, Schuettler vs. "Dr."
Ivo Karlovic, Henman vs. (3) Gasquet, Zib vs. Youzhny, and (Q) Koubek vs. Wawrinka.
