Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were among the players to progress at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati on Wednesday. The top seeds in the men’s draw had a relatively easy time of things, number one Djokovic easing past second-round opponent Ryan Harrison 6-2 6-4 and number two Nadal also easing to a 6-4 7-5 win over Julien Benneteau to help erase memories of his shock loss to Ivan Dodig in Montreal last week.

David Ferrer was taken to three sets before seeing off Grigor Dimitrov 4-6 6-1 7-5. Dodig was forced to retire when he trailed 4-6 6-3 4-0 to sixth seed Gael Monfils, while other seeded winners included Mardy Fish, Richard Gasquet and Nicolas Almagro. Qualifier Radek Stepanek continued his fine recent form by beating Andrey Golubev in straight sets and there were also wins for Philipp Kohlschreiber, Alex Bogomolov Jr and Fernando Verdasco.
