The day session on Arthur Ashe court saw two upsets that turned the womens' singles competition on its
head. First up was 4th seed Elena Dementieva taking on American teenager Melanie Oudin, and
everything appeared to be going to script when Dementieva took the opening set. But from there it was
Oudin who lifted her game and Dementieva who struggled to adapt, as Oudin took out the best result in
her short career to date.
5th seed Jelena Jankovic took on little-known Kazahkstani Yaroslava Shvedova in a match that would go
the maximum distance. But the tie-breaker in the third set would go Shvedova's way.
Some unexpected good news for the Aussie contingent came when Anastasia Rodionova caused
another deviation from the form book with a 3 set win over 23rd seed Sabine Lisicki. 19th seed Patty
Schnyder was also a day 4 casualty. Top seed Dinara Safina dropped her first set but recovered to fall
over the line against Kristina Barrois.
No such dramas on the mens' side of the draw, with all mens' seeds in action recording comfortable
wins to move to the next round.
