Top seed Novak Djokovic reached round three without hitting a ball as Jiri Vesely withdrew before their match. The Czech, 23, said he was "very, very disappointed" to pull out with inflammation of his left forearm.

Defending champion Djokovic, who has been struggling with a wrist injury, gets three days off before facing Russia's Mikhail Youzhny on Friday.

Former champion Marin Cilic and French seeds Gael Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga progressed, with fourth seed Rafael Nadal to play Italy's Andreas Seppi later on Wednesday.
