French Open champion Rafael Nadal is in the mood to extend his unbeaten
run of 29 matches on clay at the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart.
Nadal, who faces Hugo Armando on Wednesday after the American beat Gustavo
Kuerten 6-4 6-1, said: "I have confidence from my results.
"But I know I can lose every match, so I will give 100% tomorrow. I know
some time I will lose."
Seeds Olivier Rochus and Filippo Volandri were among Tuesday's losers.
Mariano Zabaleta beat ninth seed Rochus 4-6 6-2 6-3, and Gilles Simon saw
off eighth seed Volandri 6-3 2-6 6-4.
Albert Costa eased past Galo Blanco 6-4 6-4, while Potito Starace had an
excellent 6-2 6-3 win over French teenager Gael Monfils.
Kuerten's defeat took his record to two wins and six defeats since he
returned from his latest hip operation in April.
"It's not easy, but this match does not make me sad," said Kuerten.
"This year I am only trying to get myself into shape, to play a few
tournaments, to keep up my motivation and get ready for next year.
"I believe I still have a chance to play well and be successful at any
tournament. That is the goal that keeps me going day-by-day."

All come crashing down, your desperate icon. You've got to gob on, your
desperate icon. You'll all come crashing in, your desperate icon You've got
to gob on, your desperate icon. Am I a God or am I Jesus? Am I a man or am
I a boy? Do I feel love or just possession? Do I feel holy or nothing at all?
You can't deny, That your shit just tastes as sweet as mine. And you can't
deny, That your shit just tastes as sweet as mine. Sweet Jesus.
