A day for some upsets at Queen's Club.
#6 seed and new top 10 Ernests Gulbis heads the list, going down to Frenchman Kenny De Schepper.
#11 Pospisil, #12, Tursunov, #13, Mahut also departed from the premises thanks to Stakhovsky, Nieminen, and ERV, respectively.
Winners include #1 seed Wawrinka over Baghdatis who retired early at 3-2 and will face American Sam Querrey next. #3 Andy Murray dispensed with PHMathieu in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. #5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga defeated young David Goffin with a hard fought first set winning the tiebreaker i7-5, then coasted 6-2 in the second. #8 Dolgopolov beat Istomin and 4 time Queen's Club champion Lleyton Hewitt was beaten by #10 seed Feliciano Lopez, who served very well in the clutch to get past Hewitt. Ye olde Radek Stepanek squeezed by young Bernard Tomic 7-6(4), 7-6(5) to set up a clash with Andy Murray, OBE.
Respectfully,
