Hungarian teenager Agnes Szavay shocked second-seeded Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova 7-5 6-3 to reach the third round of the women's singles.

"She's got a great potential," said a dejected Hantuchova. "I was very surprised the way she played. I had never seen her play before. She was brave. She deserved to win."

Third-seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli advanced on schedule, as did Russian fourth seed Dinara Safina .

On the men's side, Thomas Johansson upset eighth seed Italian Potito Starace 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 and Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu , the fifth seed, downed Peruvian Luis Horna 6-3 7-6 (7-3).
