Juan Martin del Potro beat Josselin Ouanna of France 6-3, 6-3 Tuesday to reach the second round of the Austrian Open. The seventh-seeded Argentine, who won last week's Mercedes Cup for his first ATP title, was in control of the match throughout. Victor Hanescu also advanced, rallying from a 5-3 deficit in the third set to beat Pablo Andujar of Spain 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 (2). Also, Daniel Brands of Germany defeated Eric Prodon of France 6-3, 6-4; Brian Dabul of Argentina beat Stephane Bohli of Switzerland 6-1, 6-1; and Daniel Koellerer of Austria defeated Philipp Oswald 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4). Top-seeded Andreas Seppi withdrew before the start of his first-round match against Nicolas Devilder of France. Seppi, ranked 34th, had headlined the tournament after the top three seeded players - Paul-Henri Mathieu, defending champion Juan Monaco and Juan Carlos Ferrero - all withdrew injured last week. Seppi was replaced in the draw by Matthias Bachinger of Germany, who now plays Devilder in the opening round.
