FERREIRA IN THIRD ROUND

WAYNE Ferreira, apparently back in form after a string of injuries, beat Czech Daniel Vacek 6-4, 2-6, 6-3, 6-1 in Melbourne to advance to the third round of the Australian Open. Ferreira looks forward to a third round clash with ninth seed Richard Krajicek. Krajicek made the semis in the 1992 Aussie Open, and won Wimbledon in 1996. Krajicek moves into the third round on the strength of a three-set blowout of Argentinian Mariano Zabaleta, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5.
