Into Day 5, and the upset of the day was the departure of third seed, former champion Svetlana
Kuznetsova. After a slow start, Kuznetsova looked to be back on track when she took out a second
set tie-break to level the match against Slovenia's Katarina Srebotnik. But Srebotnik was equal to the
challenge, breaking Kuznetsova early in the last; then holding her serve, and her nerve, to take out a
remarkable win.
The mens' draw went according to script, with all seeded men in action on day 5 progressing
through to the third round. But for 13th seed Fernando Verdasco it was a close call, with the Spaniard
twice dropping tie-breaks against Portuguese qualifier Rui Machado. But the loss of the 4th set
spurred Verdasco into action, and he lifted his intensity to record a 6-0 final set.
The last Australian in the tournament, Chris Guccione, is out after a 4 set loss to 28th seed Radek
Stepanek.
