* There's some interesting news from their quarter of the draw: Jérémy Chardy, a Frenchman we're probably more used to seeing at Challenger level (currently ranked 74 in the world), has just beaten Mario Ancic, the seventh seed, 76-4 3-6 6-4!
Different quarter of the draw, but now Marin Cilic, the fifth seed, is out as well, beaten 6-7(4) 6-4 6-7(6) by the Kazakh qualifier, Mikhail Kukushkin!
