A mid-afternoon shower suspended play for a few hours, and bad light forced a premature
end to the day's action. But although the day's program was not completed, the majority of
matches scheduled reached their conclusion. Tempers flared on an outside court as 13th
seed Gael Monfils and Italian qualifier Fabio Fognini argued over the umpire's decision to
halt play with the players locked at 6-6 in the 5th set.
No top 16 seeds in either the mens or womens singles draws were eliminated; and few
dropped a set. But it was a close call for defending champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, who
dropped the first set and was down a break in the second against Andrea Petkovic before
recovering to take the match in three sets.
Mikhail Youzhny also dropped a set against Lukas Lacko, while Aravine Rezai lossed a set to
Angelique Kerber. But the majority of matches were relatively one-sided affairs.
