Monday Recap

Stosur looked to be on the verge of causing an upset in Brisbane when she was 4-2 up against Muguruza in the deciding set in the Pat Rafter Arena.

The Australian had fought back impressively after going a set down and had the initiative in the third set, but French Open champion Muguruza upped her aggression to turn things around right at the death.

Stosur was disappointed but happy with her display, per the tournament's Twitter feed:

Vinci had to battle through three tiebreaks to progress past Bondarenko to the second round.

The Italian was forced into a deciding set by her Ukrainian opponent and was points away from a defeat, but she managed to come through in the end.

Sixth-seed Elina Svitolina had a much easier time of it against Olympic champion Monica Puig, winning 6-3, 6-3.

It was a similarly routine affair for Ferrer, who downed an out-of-sorts Tomic 6-3, 7-5 in under 90 minutes.

The Australian was some way from his best and looked lethargic at times during the clash, and Ferrer took advantage to seal his spot in the next round.

Edmund took the key points when they mattered as he also progressed in straight sets by winning two tiebreaks.

Meanwhile, Nicolas Mahut prevailed in an all-French affair against Stephane Robert after winning the deciding set 6-4.

And seventh-seed Dimitrov downed American Johnson in 75 minutes to set up a second-round match with Mahut.
