Third seed Juan Carlos Ferrero eased into the third round of the French Open today after his opponent Nicolas Massu was forced to retire with a sprained ankle.

Massu, who sustained the injury during his first round win over Sweden's Magnus Norman, was trailing 6-2, 3-0 when he quit.

Ferrero said he was looking forward to getting some extra time off before his potentially tricky third-round encounter against either Britain's Tim Henman or American Todd Martin.

"Henman's improved a lot on clay while Martin has a lot of experience no matter which surface he plays on so it'll be tough either way," he said.
