Today’s first match sees the two losers of the opening day play each other, with a win vital for both players to have any chance of advancing to the semi finals and competing for the $770,000 prize money. US Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro lost to Andy Murray in his opener, and faces a rematch of the US Open final against Roger Federer in his last match. Verdasco has already played Federer, where he won the first set in blistering form, but then slumped, allowing Federer to take the match 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.
