Sony Ericsson Day 6
The first set of matches are ending today, and qualifier Amer Delic just upset Davydenko in straight sets. No real major upsets yesterday, and the match of the day belonged to Sharapova/Venus Williams. It wasn’t exactly pretty at times, with 91 total unforced errors (55 for Williams) and 25 double faults, but it was exciting and Sharapova prevailed 7-5 in the 3rd. Hingis fell in 3 sets a young Polish girl, Agnieszka Radwanska. Here are the rest of the results:

Some great matches are on tap for today, my guess is the Richard Gasquet-Guillermo Canas matchup will be one of the highlights, along with Chela/Berdych. The Lucie Safarova/Serena Williams match is the last on the main stadium for the day session, which was supposed to be played last night. If Serena advances, she will meet Sharapova in a rematch of this year’s Australian Open final. For a full schedule and updated results, click here.
