Juan Carlos Ferrero knocked out the last remaining seeded player at the Mercedes Cup when he beat No. 3 Mikhail Youzhny 6-7 (6), 6-2, 6-2 in the second round Thursday.
Earlier, wild card Lukasz Kubot of Poland came back to upset eighth-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 for a place in the quarterfinals.
Garcia-Lopez and Youzhny, who won the clay-court tournament in 2002 for his first title, were the only seeded players to make it into the second round.
Jeremy Chardy of France, the 2009 champion, also went out, losing to Santiago Giraldo of Colombia. Chardy won the first set when the match was suspended Wednesday because of rain, but Giraldo rallied when the match resumed Thursday to win 1-6, 7-5, 6-4.
