Clearly Tommy Robredo's great comeback is still continuing. It's very likely that this will take him to #16; Richard Gasquet remains #9 for now, but he is in danger of losing that spot to countryman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. It's a substantial help to Roger Federer, though, who now is almost certain to stay #8 or higher.

On the other hand, this opens a big opportunity for Murray and for David Ferrer. Juan Martin del Potro seemed to be rather dazed by the end -- perhaps the heat got to him; he's a very big guy, after all -- and Roberto Bautista Agut played very good tennis, and it ended with del Potro the first of the top ten seeds to fall.
By contrast to Azarenka, Sharapova spent three and a half hours feeling the full burden of the heat; it's a good thing she has a day off! Karin Knapp managed to add a few points but will fall at least one ranking spot, from #44 to #45.
