Top seed Andy Murray showed a great performance on his home turf today as he defeated Andreas Seppi with a thundering score of 61 64. Gael Monfils won his match yesterday, today retired from the next match because of a left wrist injury, while Marat Safin had to also withdraw from his first match on grass with a back injury so was then replaced by a lucky loser.
In Halle, local favorite Mischa Zverev saved 2 match points to beat 2007 champion Tomas Berdych. Though the first 2 sets didn't show much, the third set was all fire power and grit as the two players battled to the end with Zverev winning with a score of 36 62 76(8). Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also headed for the exit as he was kicked out by wildcard Tommy Haas (another local, double jackpot for the Germans) with a score of 63 76(3).
