Game, Set, Match News
We'll assume you aren't surprised by this result, and simply tell you that this means no Top Ten spot for Roberta Vinci; she will be within one spot of #12. Given the next result, #11 is a good bet.
This really was as lopsided as the score; David Ferrer was relentless. Kevin Anderson will be around #23; Ferrer, as the Feature shows, still has the chance to reach #4 -- or even #3.
It took only a few minutes for Maria Sharapova to complete this rain-interrupted match, but she remains far behind Victoria Azarenka in the contest for #2.
Rafael Nadal seems to be having a lot more tough matches this year than in the past, and he seems to be very testy about it, but so far, he keeps winning.

It was another day of rain delays, but Novak Djokovic did his best to speed up the schedule....

That's one way for Serena Williams to banish the memories of last year.... She leaves Anna Tatishvili still below #70.
A pretty dominating start for Roger Federer -- it took only an hour and twenty minutes.
Despite the seedings, this feels like a bit of a surprise. Peng Shuai came in ranked 11 places higher, but Romina Oprandi is the clay expert.... Oprandi it appears will be #36.
