It's been many years since Jelena Dokic was ranked in the top 10, and Dokic's press conference
after her opening round match saw her open up about the twists and turns in her life since that time.
But now, back in Australia, the local fans have welcomed her back. A huge crowd on Rod Laver Arena
screamed themselves hoarse in a testing 3-setter that saw Dokic show glimpses of her best form to
overcome Russian 17th seed Anna Chakvetadze.
On a day of few upsets, the major boilover of the day was the form of little-known Chinese Taipei's
Yen-Hsun Lu. Coming from 2 sets to 1 down, Lu showed superior form as the match came to the
business end to upset 10th seed David Nalbandian. Swedish 16th seed Robin Soderling was also a
casualty, going down to entertaining Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis.
Most of the other seeds progressed comfortably. Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin Del
Potro, David Ferrer, Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic, Vera Zvonareva, Nadia Petrova, Caroline
Wozniacki and Alize Cornet all progressed in straight sets.
Former Bosnian, now representing USA, Amer Delic; showed his liking for the long matches again.
After winning his first round match against Taylor Dent in 5 sets, it again went the maximum distance
for Delic to overcome Paul-Henri Mathieu, the match being decided 9-7 in the 5th set.
