Maria Sharapova beat Sabine Lisicki in straight sets and it was pretty much a routine and an expected win for Maria.
But there were many shocks today, firstly Sara Errani beat Venus Williams in three sets. Sara played well when it mattered but for Venus these days winning a three set match is a real challenge and again I wonder how long she can carry on.
Mirjana Luicic Baroni beat Simona Halep in straight sets and this was an embarrassing defeat for Simona.
As I have said in my previous blog, there seem to be a lot of hype around Simona and she does not seem to be living up to the hype.
She is a good player but she is well over ranked is more of a top twenty player than a top five player.
Belinda Bencic beat Angelique Kerber in straight sets and this was another surprise result. Angelique has had a good summer so I was expecting her to make to at least the quarter finals.
In the men's draw Roger Federer beat Sam Groth in straight sets and it was a pretty routine win for Roger. Roger should at the very least make to the final his side of draw of full of guys he has routinely beaten.
Grigor Dimitrov beat Dudi Sela in straight sets and this was a good solid win and Grigor could have a very good run at this years US Open.
