COSTA DO SAUIPE, Brazil, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- No. 1 seed Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain and hometown hero Thomaz Bellucci notched first-round wins Tuesday at the Brasil Open.
Defending champion Ferrero, who once held the world's top spot, downed Argentine Eduardo Schwank 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 on the clay courts at Costa do Sauipe-Salvador.
