FerreroJuan Carlos Ferrero advanced to the third round of the Legg Mason Tennis Championship with a 6-3, 6-2 win against seventh-seeded Tommy Robredo Wednesday.

No. 9 seed Mardy Fish was upset by Germany’s Philipp Petzschner 1-6, 6-4, 6-1. It was the first match for Fish since he withdrew from the L.A. Tennis Open before the quarterfinal Friday due to an abdominal strain he suffered in the Davis Cup.

  “It’s obviously frustrating to be injured,” Fish said. “I thought in practice I could do pretty much everything, and it’s just not the case.”

Fish said the injury bothers him during his serve—he had nine double faults—and when he stretches for a shot. He wasn’t sure how long the injury would affect him or if he would have to miss any tournaments.

“I’ll get home, get healthy and get back as soon as I can,” Fish said.

Ferrero, a former world No. 1, finished off his fellow Spaniard with two consecutive aces.

“I was a little bit surprised,” Ferrero said. “I expected at the beginning a little bit tougher match, but I was hitting the ball very well today.”
