Sloane Stephens beat Yaroslava Shvedova in straight sets. However it was no ordinary straight sets victory and in the first Sloane got off to a very slow start and had to come back from being five games to one down to win the set.
Sloane was able to win the match but it was not a very convincing win and she really need to step it up in the next round.
Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova both recorded straight sets victories to put them in the next round.
In the men's draw both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal recorded wins. Rafael was up against Bernard Tomic and some pundits where hyping this match up.
However it never really an exciting match as Bernard retired with an injury after the first set.
