British number one Cameron Norrie claimed a comfortable straight-set victory over qualifier Pavel Kotov to reach the third round of the Barcelona Open.
Norrie, 27, broke twice in each set to win his first match against the 108th-ranked Russian.
Britain's Dan Evans is in action later on Wednesday against Italy's Matteo Arnaldi.
Norrie, who won a clay-court title at the Rio Open in February, will face either Australia's Jason Kubler or Italy's ninth seed Lorenzo Musetti in the next round.
Musetti, 21, produced a shock victory over world number one Novak Djokovic at the Monte Carlo Masters last week before being knocked out by compatriot Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals.
