If someone whould have told me that in the third round, none of the seeds whould qualify, i whould of told them to come back to Planet Earth. But maybe this is a sign that Rotterdam is on Mars or something.
The No. 1 seed, Raffael Nadal lost to Andreas Seppi 3-6 6-3 6-4 after two hours and 14 minutes of play. This result comes as a bigger surprise after seeing the match between the Italian and Llayton Hewitt in the first round, were both players played... oh well, AWFULL. Seppi saved a match point in the first round. Nadal is now at 11-3 this season.
Thomas Berdych, seed No 5 in Rotterdam and ranked No. 12 in the ATP lost against Croatian Ivo Karlovic in straight sets 6-4 6-4. This outcome was not a huge surprise, being aware of Karlovic's advantage on this type of court, but Berdych has shown some good tennis this year.
Micha Zverev is the biggest surprise of this tournament. He defeated Kohlschreiber in the first round and today managed to upsed David Ferrer, the thirth seed at this tournament 6-2 7-5. It was obvious that he played well against the German in the first round, but now it is a fact.
To "finish" things up, Michel Llodra defeated N. Davydenko today 6-3 7-5, going up to 11 matches won this season. I will come back later with thoughts about the quarterfinal matches tommorow.
