For all his successes and all his titles, victory in his home Grand Slam has eluded Lleyton Hewitt. Now in his 30s and
no longer seeded, time is running out for Hewitt to win the tournament he so desires; and his 2011 campaign came to
an end at the first hurdle. Up against David Nalbandian on a packed Rod Laver Arena, the match was an epic 5-setter
that started at around 8:30 and would continue well past midnight. But eventually Nalbandian prevailed 9-7 in the fifth
set and Hewitt's campaign was over.
It was a day of few upsets, with most of the top seeds going through while barely raising a sweat. Kim Clijsters beat
former world no 1 Dinara Safina without dropping a game, while Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray benefitted from their
opponents pulling out before their matches were completed.
Another former world number 1, Ana Ivanovic, was a high-profile casualty. An epic match against Russia's Ekatarina
Makarova saw numerous twists and momentum turns; but eventually it was Makarova who got up 10-8 in the third set.
13th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was given a scare, having to come from two sets down before falling over the line
against Philpp Petzchner. Former finallist Marcos Baghdatis was another player to be taken to five sets before finally
prevailing over Grega Zemlja.
