Womens' top seed Ana Ivanovic was lucky to survive a marathon match against France's Nathalie
Dechy. Dropping the first set and taken to a tie-break in the second, Ivanovic was looking down the
barrel of a match-point; and a return looked to be heading into the net before a lucky net-cord rebound
gave her the point. Dechy refused to give in, despite dropping the tie-break, and the final set went all
the way to 10-8 before Ivanovic finally prevailed.
But not so lucky was mens' 3rd seed Novak Djkovic, going down in straight sets to the inconsistent
Russian Marat Safin. Safin was playing the tennis of his life, and the Serb was never allowed a
look-in. Also out of the tournament is Chile's 15th seed, Fernando Gonzalez.
The Aussie charge continued with Lleyton Hewitt and Casey Dellacqua going through to the third
round. But Samantha Stosur bowed out after a topsy-turvey match against Nicole Vaidisova. Vaidisova
took the first set easily enough, but played an appalling second set and dropped her opening service
game in the third to trail 3-0. Stosur held another break point but was unable to capitalise as
Vaidisova finally regained her form and strung together 6 games in a row to take a remarkable match.
Defending champion Roger Federer was untroubled by Sweden's Robin Soderling and progressed in
straight sets. Other day 3 winners included David Ferrer, Marcos Baghdatis, Svetlana Kouznetsova,
Elena Dementieva and Serena Williams.
