  1. - - MONFILS 4-6 6-3 7-5 6-0 - GAME, SET & MATCH - That third set proved crucial for Monfils as Phau's resistance completely melted away after losing it and the Frenchman went on to take a bagel fourth set to book his place in the second round, where he will face compatriot Guillaume Rufin.

  2. - - MONFILS 4-6 6-3 7-5 - SET - After trading breaks in the opening game of the set. Monfils and Phau looked set for a tie-break in this third set. But a poor game from the German, culminating in a forehand error, helped Monfils break with a backhand cross court winner. And he has gone on to serve out the set to go two sets to one up

  3. - - MONFILS 4-6 6-3 - SET - There are sets being closed out all over the place now as Monfils produces a sliced off-backhand volley drop shot to seal the set to 30. This one's all square now

  4. - - MONFILS 4-6 4-2 - BREAK - Monfils is working his way into this clash now as he finds a backhand cross court winner to break Phau and take the lead in this second set much to the crowd's delight

  5. - - MONFILS 4-6 - SET - French ninth seed Gael Monfils is in all sorts of trouble as he has dropped the first set for the loss of that one break to Phau, the German finding a forehand winner to seal it

  6. - - MONFILS 1-2 - BREAK - Not a great start from Monfils as he slaps five errors, compared to just one winner, in the first two games to concede his serve at the second attempt and hand Phau an early break
