World no. 1 Rafael Nadal started the day out great for the Spaniard when he easily advanced to the second round over comeback kid Kei Nishikori. David Ferrer followed right behind with another straight sets win over Nicolas Kiefer.
So with two Spaniards in, there came two Spaniards who got knocked out. The biggest upset on the man so far will be Fernando Verdasco who got a four-set exit by the hands of Fabio Fognini.
Another seeded Spaniard who lost was Juan Carlos Ferrero. The former world no.1 and French Open champ could not pull off a comeback in five sets when he lost to Xavier Malisse.
