If anyone can update faster than me, be my guest. My computer seems to have taken a bit of dislike to me and I can't do live scores

Congrats to Marc!
Guess Dell'Acqua will go back to the futures circuit. And people wonder where all the "good" Italian players are . . .
Michel's match is supposed to start at 7 pm local time, so . . . ?

German qualifier sends 7. seed out in first round
Tuesday afternoon’s matches turned out to be tough on the seeded players.
The biggest surprise was delivered by German qualifier Tomas Behrend who had to fight hard but never the less managed to defeat seed No. 7, Croatian star in the making, Mario Ancic.
The match was as long as it was well played, but in three exiting sets the 28 year old overcame the favourite 6-4, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2). Behrend had the chance to decide it in two sets but missed out on the two match points he had in the second set.
“I’ve learned that it’s no use thinking to much about that. You just have to concentrate on the next ball,” said Behrend who found that is was little things that tipped the match in his favour.
“I served well. That was important, because as it turned out I only had one break. But I always felt, that I was closer to winning than losing the match,” explained the German, ranked 145.
But at the moment the ranking isn’t the most important issue for Behrend.
“My objective for this year is to improve my game, then the results will come. If you set up a goal such as to be in the top 100 you also put yourself under pressure, and your ranking also depends on your opponents,” found Behrend.
Ancic was obviously disappointed with losing.
“I wasn’t as aggressive as I wanted to be. He had some matches behind him, so he was pretty confident. I knew him from before but I was just too passive,” said Ancic who was not happy about losing yet another match in a third set tiebreak. Over the past couple of weeks that has happened to him several times.
“My objective for this year is to win some third sets 7-6,” he commented ironically.
Earlier in the afternoon, in a match dominated by the players’ serving qualities, Dutchman Martin Verkerk, seed No. 6, was eliminated from Copenhagen Open in his first round match by Anthony Dupuis. The frenchman had little problem ousting Verkerk in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
