Aussie Benjamin Mitchell showed that his title hopes are for real, only leaving boys top seed Daniel Berta (photo, right) with only 3 games to show for efforts. 3rd seed Jason Kubler also joined Berta on the sidelines, after having been beaten by Aussie wildcard Sean Berman. 4th seed Mitchell Frank was also upset, by 14th seeded Brazilian Tiago Fernandes. And a day of upsets was finally completed by Suk-Young Jeong, who took out 9th seeded Slovakian Filip Horansky with great ease. Only 2nd seed Gianni Mina managed to keep his hopes alive after a first set scare against 13th seed Arthur de Greef.

 

Girls top seed Timea Babos managed to avoid the onslaught, overcoming a second set scare against Russian Anna Arina Marenko. 3rd seed Daria Gavrilova, 5th seed Silvia Njiric and last year's runner up Laura Robson also made it into the quarterfinals.
