Ferrero through to Barcelona third round

Question

Juan Carlos Ferrero is through to the third round of the Barcelona Open. He was leading Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-3, 4-2 in the second round when the Ukranian retired with hamstring problems.

Answer 1

Ferrero, who was defeated by Rafael Nadal at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters last week, is another who might benefit from the absence of the Spanish No. 1 here.
