It was a surprise Maria struggled because on paper this should have been a comfortable win. Maria is nice part of draw and should really make to the final.
Simona Halep beat Jamila Gajdosova in straight sets and this was a comfortable win for Simona. Simona has also in the nice part of the draw so she should make to at least the semi finals.
In the men's draw Rafael Nadal beat Tim Smyczek in five sets and it was tough old match for Rafa who eventually came through it to make the third.
Rafa is coming back from injury so I guess he still a little rusty so I guess he trying to slowly build momentum.
In the men's match Roger Federer beat Simone Bolelli in four sets and it was a tough old match for Roger who eventually came through it.
This is the kind of player that Roger used to beat in his sleep so it was little surprising that he took Roger to four sets.
I think it will be a big ask to expect Roger to win this title as he would have to beat at least three top ten players and so it would be a big ask to expect him to win.
