Barcelona, April 27: Carlos Moya sent Russian top seed Yevgeny Kafelnikov spinning out of the Barcelona Open on Wednesday, taking just 75 minutes to win 6-2 7-6 and inspire a Spanish fightback after a bleak morning for the home nation.Kafelnikov, who had arrived by private plane just a few hours before his second round match, was caught cold by Moya, whose powerful ground-hitting took him to a set and 5-1 up.Moya's habitual nerves then took a hold and as the Spaniard suffered a rash of unforced errors Kafelnikov raised himself to reel off four successive games.Another exchange of breaks set up a tie-break, which Moya took 7-4 after a couple of fiercely struck, open-shouldered forehands down the line had given him two mini-breaks.``Moya just didn't make any mistakes for the first set and a half,'' said Kafelnikov, who defended his decision to arrive late.``I'd practised and I was ready to play,'' he said. ``I don't think it's wrong to arrive so soon before the match.''Moya said he was glad not to have been up against Kafelnikov at his best. ``Kafelnikov won the French Open in 1996 and you don't win that by accident. Fortunately, I was playing the Kafelnikov who hasn't been quite so good recently.''Moya's convincing victory followed a succession of defeats for the Spanish, as Alberto Berasategui, Alex Corretja, Salvador Navarro, Francisco Clavet, German Puentes and Felix Mantilla all fell in the second round.But it was followed by another unexpected success for Sergi Bruguera, who beat Armenian Sargis Sargsian 6-3 6-3 in the final match on Centre Court.Bruguera, twice former French Open champion, was roared all the way to victory by an appreciative crowd, who had seen Sargsan beat Spanish favourite Alberto Costa on Monday.Defending champion Mantilla was hustled out 6-3 6-0 by No 3 seed Nicolas Lapentti of Ecuador, while sixth seed Corretja suffered a 0-6 6-3 6-3 defeat by in-form Argentine Gaston Gaudio.Apart from Moya and Bruguera, the only Spanish success came from the highly-rated Juan Carlos Ferrero, who wasted little time in beating compatriot Fernando Vicente 7-6 6-2.Second seed Magnus Norman of Sweden looked sharp as he beat Rainer Schuettler of Germany 7-6 6-3, while the 1994 champion Richard Krajicek had too much for Brazil's Fernando Meligeni, the Dutchman winning 7-5 6-1.Fabrice Santoro maintained French interest in the event after the retirment of Cedric Pioline with a back injury by beating his replacement Puentes 6-4 6-4.Pioline is expected to rest until the Rome Masters in May after aggravating the injury in a practice match on Monday.Britain's Greg Rusedski - seeded seventh but no specialist on clay - had earlier scored a morale-boosting 6-3 3-6 6-2 victory over last year's beaten finalist Karim Alami of Morocco.
