Acasuso titled here in 2004. Martin was the 1999 Bucharest champ.

The former world No. 1 Moya will face qualifier and fellow Spaniard Pablo Andujar in the round of 16.

An upset came when Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili took out fifth-seeded Latvian Ernests Gulbis 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.

A match for fifth-seeded Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu was postponed until Wednesday because of darkness. Mathieu will meet Spaniard Ivan Navarro on Day 3.
