SHANGHAI (AP) — Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray advanced to the third round of the Shanghai Masters on Wednesday, although only the Spaniard had to step onto the court.

The top-seeded Nadal beat countryman Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-3, 6-2, while Murray received a walkover when Dmitry Tursunov of Russia pulled out with a thigh injury.

Tursunov had defeated Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil in a tough, three-set match in the first round.

Earlier Wednesday, fourth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was knocked out by Japan’s Kei Nishikori 6-7 (1), 6-4, 6-4. The Frenchman fought off two match points with aces before hitting a backhand long to hand Nishikori the win.
