MEN'S DRAW SECTION 3 TOP HALF
Robin Soderling retired before playing Irish qualifier Louk Sorensen leaving this section of the draw for Del Potro's taking. Isner fought a tough match against Marcos Baghdatis and now looks the favourite to make the fourth round against Del Potro as he plays fellow American Robby Ginepri next and the possibility of another American, Alex Bogomolov Jr.
MEN'S DRAW SECTION 3 BOTTOM HALF
Nothing special though Murray did spend much longer than anticipated against Somdev Devvarman
MEN'S DRAW SECTION 4 TOP HALF
Almagro lost to Benneteau, something I wasn't expecting though it gives Roddick a huge boost in chances.
WOMEN'S DRAW SECTION 3
The player that ousted Petra Kvitova, Alexandra Dulgheru loses to Romania compatriot Monica Niculescu. But the shock of this section was the loss of Agnieszka Radwanska. Just when everybody was hyping her as a possible contender she loses to Angelique Kerber. This opens up so many possibilities in this mini section with the 20th seed Yanina Wickmayer having to retire. Lucie Safarova must favour her chances in the QFs now. Whilst in the bottom half of this section all seeds made it through.
WOMEN'S DRAW SECTION 4
More shocks came in section 4 with the 8th seeded Marion Bartoli losing to American Christina McHale. However with Kirilenko and Petrova/Stosur up next I don't see McHale moving any further. Dominika Cibulkova also lost to Irina Falconi, another American. Venus Williams retired before playing against Lisicki unfortunately so a number of huge names have been eliminated in this section leaving Stosur, Zvonareva and maybe Lisicki the favourites to make it through here.
Also I was rather shocked that the Bryan Brother's were ousted in the first round in the doubles, first time in ages.
BIGGEST LOSS OF THE DAY Agnieszka Radwanska
