MEN'S DRAW SECTION 1 TOP HALF
The Djokovic/Dodig (or should I say Davydenko) section wasn't played on Day 1. Djokovic flew past Conor Niland until Niland decided to retire. Whilst the most interesting match of this section was Davydenko Vs Dodig, a tough first round match which took five sets to decide a winner. Will Davydenko be competition to Djokovic? I doubt it in his form.
MEN'S DRAW SECTION 2 BOTTOM HALF
Tsonga and Verdasco both made it through to Round 2, no shocks here. I was slightly surprised that Andreas Haider-Maurer lost to Sergei Bubka though, but that's irrelevant really because Tsonga will beat whoever won that match.
MEN'S DRAW SECTION 3 BOTTOM HALF
No shocks here besides a minor upset for me of Tursunov losing in five sets.
MEN'S DRAW SECTION 4 TOP HALF
Ferrer will play Blake in Round 2 after both took four sets to beat their respective opponents. I'm not convinced that Blake can beat Ferrer but the men's draw is in need of a shock.
MEN'S DRAW SECTION 4 BOTTOM HALF
Another Top 16 seed is out and that is Mikhail Youzhny, that means Ernests Gulbis finally made the 2nd Round! It also means the first loss of my predicted final 16. Youzhny's draw was a shambles really so I wouldn't be shocked now if Gulbis makes it all the way.
The other point to make about this section was Nadal beating Andrey Golubev, but it wasn't the cleanest of wins. His draw is rather simple but could he survive Ferrer?
WOMEN'S DRAW SECTION 1 TOP HALF
Wozniacki makes it past Llagostera Vives as planned. The shock here was Hantuchova's loss to Pauline Parmentier. Hantuchova was improving on her consistency this year so I think most expected her as a threat to beating Wozniacki.
WOMEN'S DRAW SECTION 1 BOTTOM HALF
The shock of the day definitely came in this section where we witnessed another Grand Slam champion lose in the first round. This means there will be four different Grand Slam winners this year. I feel really disappointed that Na Li has slumped since winning Roland Garros. This definitely gives Wozniacki a very good shot of making the SFs with Petkovic her main threat.
WOMEN'S DRAW SECTION 2 TOP HALF
Everything went according to rank here which means we are moving ever closer to an Azarenka/Williams third round.
WOMEN'S DRAW SECTION 2 BOTTOM HALF
The 32nd seed Martinez Sanchez lost to Mona Barthel and in British interest Anne Keothavong lost in straight sets to Chanelle Scheepers.
Out of the matches that were left from other sections there was nothing of note.
BIGGEST LOSS OF THE DAY Na Li
