Top-seeded Nicolas Massu was ousted by Agustin Calleri of Argentina 6-3, 6-4 Tuesday in the upset-filled first round of the Lyon Open.

Calleri rose to 21-14 this year, while double Olympic gold medalist Massu fell to 36-24.

Third-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero and No. 7 Vince Spadea also won, but other seeded players fared poorly. No. 5 Tommy Robredo and eighth-seeded Mario Ancic made early exits.

Ferrero, the 2003 French Open champion, topped Sargis Sargsian 6-3, 7-6 (4), and Spadea beat Robby Ginepri 6-4, 6-3.

Robredo fell to hard-serving Robin Soderling 6-1, 6-4, and Ancic retired with a right shoulder injury while trailing Max Mirnyi 6-3, 3-1.

Also, David Ferrer beat Raemon Sluiter 6-3, 6-4; Mikhail Youzhny topped Luis Horna 6-4, 7-6 (1), and Radek Stepanek outlasted Paul-Henri Mathieu 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.
