> 3-6 6-4

> Yes, this really happened. We checked twice. Of course, just

>

> Singles – Second Round: M Youzhny def. K Anderson 6-3 6-3

> Kevin Anderson loses quarterfinal points; he will fall from

>

> Singles – Second Round: S Querrey def. A Seppi 6-1 6-4

> This takes Sam Querrey to probably #22, two spots ahead of

> Andreas Seppi. Querrey didn’t make it to the Top Twenty in

> the year there.

>

> Singles – Second Round: F Lopez def. Y Lu 6-3 7-6(9-7)

> This will probably suffice to keep Feliciano Lopez in the

> Top Thirty, but we probably won’t know for certain for

> another day or two.

>

> Doubles – First Round: (Alt) Berlocq/Istomin def. (2)

> Mirnyi/Nestor 1-6 6-3 12-10 (Match TB)

> Singles – Second Round: (2) T Berdych def. A Falla 6-3 7-5

> Tomas Berdych continues to cruise, and moves a little closer

> Singles – Second Round: (3) J Tipsarevic def. (Q) M

> Chiudinelli 6-4 6-2

> If Janko Tipsarevic can win his next match, he’ll start

>

> Singles – Second Round: M Baghdatis def. (4) J Monaco 7-5

> 1-6 6-3

> Juan Monaco probably ran out of gas after a long couple of

> return to the Top Forty after this.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (6) M Raonic def. V Troicki 3-0,

> retired (Calf)

> 2012 continues to be disappointing for Viktor Troicki, who

>

> Singles – Second Round: (8) K Nishikori def. (PR) T Robredo

> 5-7 6-1 6-0

> Kei Nishikori has started to add points, but he needs at

> least one more win to climb in the rankings.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (Q) D Tursunov def. (WC) T Ito 7-5

> 6-3

> We thought Dmitry Tursunov’s first round win might have been

> This seems almost sure to do it.

>

> Doubles – First Round: (1) Paes/Stepanek def. Knowle/Polasek

> 6-4 6-4

>

> Doubles – First Round: (4) Peya/Soares def. Paire/Wawrinka
