Giorgi moves to the fourth round on the back of her 46 winners, compared to Wozniacki’s 13. The top five on the women’s side remain intact, however.
Men’s No. 2 Rafael Nadal looked great in his win over the hard-serving Ivan Dodig. It was his third straight-set victory of the tournament, and has fought off all five break points he’s faced to this point. He won the match, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. He’ll advance to take on Philipp Kohlschreiber, the tournament’s No. 22 seed. Kohlschreiber upset top American John Isner on Saturday as well, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(5).
No. 7 Roger Federer easily advanced past unseeded Adrian Mannarino in his matchup, 6-3, 6-0, 6-2. Federer has looked very good for this year’s tournament, which is a great sign given the injuries he’s dealt with over the past few months.
Other top seeds victorious were No. 4 David Ferrer, No. 18 Janko Tipsarevic, No. 10 Milos Raonic and No. 8 Richard Gasquet. On the women’s side, No. 10 Roberta Vinci and No. 2 Victoria Azarenka were both victorious.
