BARCELONA, Spain -- Rafael Nadal overcame a sore knee to open his bid for a seventh Barcelona Open title with an easy 6-1, 6-2 win over Guillermo Garcia Lopez in the second round on Wednesday. Nadal had a bye in the first round after defeating Novak Djokovic in the Monte Carlo Masters final on Sunday and improved his record to 31-1 on the clay in Barcelona after breaking his fellow Spaniard six times. "My knee bothered me a little, but thats normal. In 15 days the discomfort isnt going to go away but it doesnt keep you from playing so its not a problem," said Nadal, who had to withdraw before the semifinals of last months Sony Ericsson Open because of a left knee problem. "I made few errors, my backhand was good and my forehand allowed me to vary my game and it helped me a lot." Fellow Spaniard David Ferrer needed less than an hour to advance to the third round by beating Serbian wild card Filip Krajinovic 6-0, 6-3. The sixth-ranked Ferrer is bidding for his first Godo trophy after finishing runner-up three times. "Rafa is, without a doubt, the favourite because he is the best player of all-time on clay, but he can also lose," Ferrer said. "Every player has to focus on the rival in front of him now rather than further ahead." Ferrer plays Albert Montanes in the next round after the Spaniard saved four match points to oust 15th-seeded Bernard Tomic 6-0, 5-7, 7-5. Canadas Milos Raonic beat Russias Igor Andreev 6-4, 6-1 while Japans Kei Nishikori overcame Mikhail Kukushkin 6-3, 4-6, 6-0.
