Night session washed out

Score an ace for Mother Nature as rain washed out Monday night's session at the Pilot Pen.
Anabel Medina Garrigues was leading Sania Mirza 1-0 and the second game was tied 30-30 when the match was suspended. The men's singles match between John Isner and Benjamin Becker was also rained out. Both matches have been moved to today.
It was another good day for the American men as Vincent Spadea topped Evgeny Korolev 6-2, 5-7, 7-5 in the first round and Mardy Fish advanced to the third round with a 6-7, 7-5, 6-0 win over Filippo Volandri. Second seeded Tommy Robredo opened with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Marc Gicquel. Feliciano Lopez, the 2005 finalist, was eliminated in perhaps Monday's best match as sixth-seeded Jarkko Nieminen advanced with a 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6 in the tiebreaker)
On the women's side, No. 6 Elena Dementieva defeated Mara Santangelo 6-2, 3-6, 6-0, No. 7 Sybille Bammer defeated Meghann Shaughnessy 6-4, 6-2 and No. 8 Alona Bondarenko defeated Olga Govortsova 6-3, 7-6.
