The unseeded Spaniard broke three times and dropped serve twice at BNR Arenas as Hanescu lost in the opening round for the second straight year. He was beaten by Martin Vassallo Arguello of Argentina in 2008.
Another unseeded Spaniard, Santiago Ventura, beat fourth-seeded Russian Igor Andreev 6-4 6-1.
"I played well and I feel excellent on the court," Ventura said. "Andreev is a good player and it's hard to beat him."
Second-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro also advanced, defeating Italy's Simone Bolelli 6-4 6-3
