The #2 seed Juan Martin del Potro has fallen in the first round.
Somdev Devvarman from Gandhi's Republic of India is the benefactor of an unfortunate retirement due to a left wrist injury from the Tower of Tandil after he lost the first set 7-6(3). Del Potro could not come over the ball at all on his backhand wing as the match progressed.
Devvarman will meet Tunisian Malek Jaziri who saved 5 MP and upset Igor Sijsling, 0-6 6-4 7-6(4) after Sisling was ahead 5-2.
This certainly opens up the bottom half of the draw, especially for Kohlschreiber, and then potentially for Berdych or Tsonga.
Respectfully,
