Women's No. 22 Maria Kirilenko departs, courtesy of Austria's Tamira Paszek, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. Men's No. 27 seed Feliciano Lopez is out after a five-set loss to Austria's Juergen Melzer. And, for those bemoaning the lack of young American men on the rise, we give you 24-year-old Ryler De Heart (yes, his real name) from Tampa, who qualified for the main draw and nipped veteran Olivier Rochus in five sets, 6-4 in the fifth.
For his efforts, De Heart gets Rafael Nadal on Wednesday. Nice knowing you, kid.
