Cilic crashes out in Paris

Jerzy Janowicz produced another shock result at the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris to dump out 13th seed Marin Cilic.

The 6ft 8in Polish qualifier won his battle of the giants against the Croatian, just two inches shorter, to set up a third-round clash with either British number one Andy Murray or French wild card Paul-Henri Mathieu.

The first set unsurprisingly went to a tie-break, which Janowicz won. Emboldened by that, he forced five break points against his opponent's imposing serve in the second set, taking two to seal a 7-6 (8/6) 6-2 win.

Home favourite and sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga narrowly avoided becoming another big-name casualty, squandering a one-set lead against compatriot Julien Benneteau before finally coming through in a final-set tie-break to win 6-2 4-6 7-6 (7/2).

There were no worries for the other seeds in second-round action, with Japan's Kei Nishikori winning 7-6 (7/2) 6-2 against wild card Benoit Paire and Stanislas Wawrinka, the Swiss player seeded one place below Nishikori at 16, a 6-3 6-2 winner against Carlos Berlocq.

In the first round, Mathieu beat qualifier Roberto Batista-Agut 6-4 7-5 with the aid of five breaks of serve.

Grigor Dimitrov hammered down 16 aces in 10 service games as he beat Jurgen Melzer 7-6 (7/2) 6-2 and Igor Sijsling delivered nine in a 6-4 6-2 win over Alexandr Dolgopolov.

Michael Llodra and Jeremy Chardy cheered the home fans with wins over Spaniards Daniel Gimeno-Traver and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez respectively, with Llodra congratulated on court by his delighted son.

Fernando Verdasco was another Spanish player to crash out, retiring at 1-1 in the second set against American Sam Querrey having lost the opener 6-1.

Britain's Jonny Marray and his Australian partner Paul Hanley reached the second round of the men's doubles, beating German pair Philipp Kohlschreiber and Florian Mayer 7-5 6-1.
