>Feliciano Lopez Added To Casualties List In Brisbane

>

Feliciano Lopez, who has been struggling with a virus this week, has been added to the list of casualties after he was sent packing by big hitting Kevin Anderson in the second round of the Brisbane Internation. The 6-3, 6-1 win was a clean match for Anderson who didn’t face a break point and sent down 15 aces.

Anderson will now play Santiago Giraldo in the quarterfinals.

>Seeds Fall In Rome: Baghdatis, Ferrero And Querrey Out.

>It was a bad day for the seeds in Rome today with Marcos Baghdatis, Sam Querrey and Juan Carlos Ferrero packing their bags and heading off towards Madrid to train and await the next Masters tournament.

Ernests Gulbis disposed of Baghdatis 6-2, 6-2 in just under 70 minutes in fairly simple fashion with Gulbis striking the ball cleanly and simply outplaying the Cypriot. Gulbis will face Roger Federer in the next round.

Querrey was scheduled to play Julien Benneteau who can play dangerous tennis if he’s in form, and in a first round encounter that could have gone either way, the Frenchman came out on top 7-6, 3-6, 7-6. Benneteau managed to win just 4 more points in total that his American opponent.

The biggest surprise (although I’ll admit I had a sneaky feeling he’d fall early but not this early) was the thrashing of Juan Carlos Ferrero by qualifies Santiago Giraldo who beat Ferrero with 32 winners compared to just 9 from Ferrero. Ferrero was thrashed so convincingly that the first set, which Giraldo won 6-0, took just 17 minutes to complete.

John Isner barely survived his 25th birthday clash with Horacio Zeballos, rallying back to win in three tight sets 4-6, 7-6, 7-5. Isner was aided by 20 aces.
