Nadal, meanwhile, claimed a comfortable 6-4 6-2 victory over American qualifier Jesse Levine.
Fourth seed Nikolay Davydenko defeated Tommy Haas 6-3 7-6 (8/6), while fifth-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer moved into the third round with a 6-4 6-4 victory over Robby Ginepri.
James Blake overcame a slow start to clinch a 1-6 6-1 6-2 triumph over Jonas Bjorkman, but 12th seed Tommy Robredo suffered a 6-3 6-4 defeat against Marin Cilic.
Stanislas Wawrinka, the world number 10, was a 6-3 6-4 second-round winner against Russia's former world number one Marat Safin.
Richard Gasquet, Igor Andreev, Robin Soderling, Dimitry Tursunov, Jose Acasuso and Nicolas Kiefer also progressed on Wednesday.
