Nadal moves to Barcelona Third Round while Top Seed Ferrer Crashes Out

It was a tough day for the top seed David Ferrer who had an un-ceremonial ouster form the tournament at the hands of Russian Dmitry Tursunov 7-5 3-6 6-1.

However, fellow Spaniard and second seed Rafael Nadal easily overpowered his opponent Argentina's Carlos Berlocq 6-4, 6-2.

Nadal is in Barcelona to win the tournament for the eighth time.

It was tough luck for him at Monte Carlo that he succumbed to world no.1 Djokovic who won his maiden Monte Carlo title while denying a consecutive 9th title win to Rafa.

Elsewhere in other round two matches, seventh seed Juan Monaco beat Bernard Tomic 6-0 6-2, Tommy Robredo upset 14th seed Grigor Dimitrov 7-5 6-1, and fifth seed Milos Raonic eased past Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4 6-2.
