Rafael Nadal takes control of the point from the beginning with his serve, he continues with a big forehand to come to the net. But his volley is not sufficiently incisive to beat Fernando Verdasco who mystifies his opponent with a superb forehand passing.

First domineering but then dominated after a wonderful drop shot-lob combination from Monica Niculescu, Serena Williams manages to stay in the point in-extremis and concludes with authority in the end.

Victoria Azarenka uses perfectly all angles of the court against Jelena Jankovic and she concludes with a magnificent cross court backhand.

Almost too short, Milos Raonic find an incredible lunging forehand passing shot in order to make the first break of his match against Teymuraz Gabashvili.
