LYON, France — Fifth-seeded Tommy Robredo and Juan Carlos Ferrero won in straight sets Monday to reach the second round of the Lyon Grand Prix.

Robredo defeated Michael Llodra of France 6-4, 6-3. Llodra said he was worn out and might miss the rest of the season because of pain behind his right knee. Ferrero, the 2003 French Open champion, beat big-serving American Sam Querrey 6-3, 7-5.

French wild card Josselin Ouanna rallied past Ivan Ljubicic of Croatia 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 6-4 for his first win on the ATP tour; Belgian wild card Steve Darcis upset Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-4, 3-6, 6-3; and Julien Benneteau downed Arnaud Clement 6-3, 6-2 in an all-French match.

Ouanna, ranked No. 182, is more accustomed to playing in challenger and other lower-tier events. He lost all of his three previous first-round matches this year, all on clay, without taking a set. In beating Ljubicic, he defeated an opponent who reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 in 2006 but is now No. 46.
