地主外卡全滅。

"The conditions weren't a problem for me today," said Nalbandian. "I am
used to this, it is very similar to where I am from in Cordoba. It was more
the fact that it was my first clay court match of the year. It was a tough
match which got complicated in the second set but I was able to come back to
a good level in the third so I am happy with today’s victory.”
