The upset
David Nalbandian. The No.10 seed was ousted in straight sets by 22nd seed Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Big win
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga d Richard Gasquet 6-2 6-7(5) 7-6(6) 6-3. Tsonga just keeps on winning, this time he knocked out fellow Frenchman and friend Richard Gasquet. Next up Tsonga meets the No.14 seed Mikhail Youzhny who despatched countryman Nikolay Davydenko in straight sets.
The stat
89%. The percentage of points Roger Federer won off his first serve. While he may not serve as fast as Andy Roddick or serve as many aces as Ivo Karlovic (1318 aces last year to Federer’s 597), winning 89% of points off your first serve is not a bad effort, especially over five sets.
