Jelena Dokic (AUS) - Through to Quarter Final

The late arrivals to Rod Laver Arena for the day session missed the start of an amazing upset, and by
the time the doors were re-opened after 3 games, top seed Jelena Jankovic was already down a
double break against French 16th seed Marion Bartoli. There was to be no way back in the first set,
with Bartoli on a roll and cruising through to take the set 6-1. Jankovic's touch was deserting her,
being unable to land shots she would normally nail. The Serbian top seed fought harder in the
second set, but it wasn't her day, and Bartoli went on to take the match in straight sets.
Mens' second seed Roger Federer, for much of the day, also looked set to be a shock fourth round
casualty. With Tomas Berdych winning the first set and then prevailing in a tie-breaker in the second,
the scent of an upset was in the air. But as he has done on many occasions before, Federer fought
back when his back was to the wall, breaking Berdych early in the third set before his superior fitness
and stamina enabled him to last the distance and take the match in 5 sets.
No such dramas for Andy Roddick or Vera Zvonareva, both taking their matches in straight sets.
Dinara Safina dropped her second set against Alize Cornet but recovered to take the match 7-5 in the
third; while Juan Martin Del Potro took 4 sets to go past Marin Cilic.
The night session saw the Jelena Dokic juggernaut roll on. Another 3-set marathon, this time against
Russian 29th seed Alisa Kleybanova, but in the end Dokic was able to hold her nerve and
concentration to take the match 8-6 in the third set. Next up, Novak Djokovic and Marcos Baghdatis
swapped tie-break wins after tense and even second and third sets before Djokovic stepped up a
gear to take the match in the fourth set.
