Roger Federer dropped out of the 2016 Madrid Open with an injury on Monday, and another top seed, Ana Ivanovic, was forced to pack her bags as well, losing to qualifier Louisa Chirico in an upset.

Ivanovic played sloppy, error-prone tennis from the second set onward, and while she kept things relatively close in the third, Chirico's win was thoroughly deserved.   

Victoria Azarenka beat Alize Cornet, while Elina Svitolina's tournament came to an early end against Daria Gavrilova.

In the men's draw, Milos Raonic, Gilles Simon and Feliciano Lopez all booked their spot in the second round.

Here’s a look at the full results from Monday:

Monday RecapThe biggest story to come out of Madrid on Monday was undoubtedly Federer, who arrived in Madrid nursing a back injury and decided not to risk aggravating things ahead of the French Open.

Per Ben Rothenberg of the New York Times, the Swiss veteran weighed in on his chances for victory at Roland Garros:



Chirico proved to be a tough nut to crack for Ivanovic in the first set of their match, putting plenty of pressure on the Serb's second serve and more than holding her own in the rallies. The 19-year-old came up big in key moments, facing no less than 12 break points, and ran out to a quick 5-3 lead and a set point.

She struggled at the net, however, and Ivanovic stepped up her play at the right time, relying on passing shots and a handful of errors to win four games in a row and grab the set.



The American changed tactics in the second, attacking Ivanovic with deep, strong groundstrokes, and her forehand in particular did plenty of damage. Her more experienced opponent had no answers, and while Ivanovic managed to avoid a bagel, it took Chirico almost no time to force a third set.
