Eighth seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez made a strong start to the tournament, having upended veteran Radek Stepanek in straight sets. The Spaniard, who passed through the 76-minute match unbroken, converted four of 8 break points on the day. Stepanek committed seven double faults and won just 32% of his second-serve points.
Garcia-Lopez will face compatriot Daniel Gimeno-Traver or wildcard Lukasz Kubot for a spot in the quarterfinal.
