Internazionali BNL d'Italia II
PTA Masters 1000 - Saturday (1st Round Qualifying) - Rome Italy - Clay (Red)

Top seed Spas Delev has survived a tricky encounter to advance to the qualifying round in three sets over Uzbekistan's Anvar Juraev. The dangerous CWLander struggled with the Uzbek's big and accurate serve, but would not have expected a 3-6 scoreline in the second set as he played poor tennis. He was forced to come from a break down in the third to take it to a tiebreaker, where he found his touch just in time to beat the Asian player 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(1).

There were no troubles for Rob Bowenburg as he blitzed Cypriot Takis Georgilas 6-1, 6-1. Georgilas isn't a great clay court player and showed exactly that here as the West CWLand fifth seed finished him inside of an hour with aggressive tennis. He faces an uphill battle, though, next against Dênis Rodrígues after the Brazilian was a straight sets winner in his match.

The up and down year of Roy Daniels continued as he was beaten by Paolo Mandonna of Argentina. Mandonna was fresh off an embarassing defeat to Norway's Tom Vollan in Monte Carlo, but was too good for Daniels as he drew a bundle of unforced errors to win 6-4, 6-4.
