Madrid - Roddick and Fish drop early

Andy Roddick's run of poor form has continued as he was dumped from the Madrid Masters tournament by unheralded Italian qualifier Flavio Cipolla, ranked 160 and without a win from 4 starts on the ATP tour this year - until now.  Joining Andy on the sidelines is fellow countryman and top ranked American Mardy Fish, dispatched by yet another from the US, John Isner.

Del Potro and Davydenko, fresh from tournament victories last week, are on court at the moment in separate matches attempting to continue their good form into the French Open in a couple of weeks.

No big shocks yet in the womens draw with Victoria Azarenka storming through to the 3rd round already, joined by 2nd seed Zvonareva and only a short time ago by 5th seed Sam Stosur.  Stosur took nearly 2 hours to defeat Daniela Hantuchova for the second tournament in succession.
