Former World No.3 David Nalbandian made an impactful start to the season's last Masters series event in Bercy, France when he recorded a clinical 6-3, 6-2 win over Valencia finalist Marcel Granollers to move to the next round of the 2010 BNP Paribas Masters, an ATP World Tour 1000 tournament.

Nalbandian made a superb start to the match and got a break in the very first game, followed by two more to eventually wrap up the first set 6-3.

The second set did not change the story much as with the help of another early break, the Argentine completed the 6-3, 6-1 win in 67 minutes of play, TennisEarth reported.
