Elsewhere, Kei Nishikori crashed out in the first round after losing in five sets to Benoit Paire of France. The Japanese fourth seed, who was last year's runner-up had 2 match points in the 4th set tie-break. But the unseeded Paire held his nerve to win the set and go on to take the match 3 sets to 2.

To motorsports and Scott Dixon has taken advantage of a Juan Pablo Montoya mistake to win at the Sonoma Raceway to clinch the 2015 IndyCar Series championship.

And finally to football as the player transfer window is nearing its end. Real Madrid have agreed a fee of around 35 million Euros with Manchester United to add David De Gea to their collection.
