• Note: Ivan Ljubičić replaced Kei Nishikori, who withdrew due to sickness.^[3] Lleyton Hewitt, who had just returned from surgery, withdrew and was replaced by Nicolas Mahut.^[4] Novak Djokovic was originally due to play Mahut after Hewitt pulled out. However Djokovic needed to rest in preparation for the French Open. Thus Jo-Wilfried Tsonga replaced him to play his second match of the tournament.^[4] Then Julien Benneteau replaced Andy Murray when the latter pulled out with a groin injury.^[5]
