Day 6 Results: Huge Upsets, Big Comebacks, Djokovic vs. del Potro to be finished Friday

Day 6 brought the most shocking upset of the tournament, with women's world number one Caroline Wozniacki losing to Daniela Hantuchova, the 28th seed. What was shocking was not the loss, but the way in which Wozniacki was so soundly defeated. It was a 6-1. 6-3 beatdown. Wozniacki never looked to be in the match. The other big upset of the day was Samantha Stosur being taken down by Argentian Gisela Dulko. On the men's side, in the biggest match of the day, there was no conclusion. Due to every match of Chatrier going the distance, they had to move the match to the Lenglen court. They only were able to get two sets in, and surprisingly, del Potro was able to take the second set from Novak Djokovic. They will continue the match tomorrow. On the comeback side, Stanislas Wawrinka was down two sets to love to Jo Wilfried Tsonga on Chatrier. With a very partisan crowd in his favor, Tsonga looked to be on his way to a comfortable victory. Wawrinka, however, never gave up, winning a third set tiebreak and winning the final two sets, 6-2, 6-4. All in all, it was a very exciting day of tennis.
