Looks like they skipped right past the men's singles and straight to the mixed doubles.
Wonder why?

Tomas had a stomach bug and he retired in the mixed doubles and didn't play the men's singles. He asked for the mixed doubles to be played before the men's singles to give him time to recover, but it wasn't enough. Instead, Brydan Klein took his place. Here are the results from today.

Serena Williams (USA) def. Lucie Safarova (CZE) 6-0 2-6 7-5
Fish/Williams (USA) def. Berdych/Safarova (CZE) 6-0 ret.
Mardy Fish (USA) def. Brydan Klein (AUS) 6-4 6-3 - Dead rubber

When they announced Tomas had an upset stomach, I was worried that I wouldn't get to see him play at all...I hope he recovers soon. Apparently he was throwing up all of last night. :hug:
