02/22/2012 - Buenos Aires, Argentina (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top seed and world No. 5 David Ferrer easily dispatched Argentina native Facundo Bagnis on Wednesday at the Copa Claro tennis event.

Fourth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan came back to beat Romanian's Victor Hanescu 3-6, 7-5, 6-1, while sixth-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka went the distance to best France's Benoit Paire 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 on Day 3.
