Australia's Sam Stosur dodged a bullet before finally progressing through to the third round. Against
Germany's Tatjana Malek, who had defeated Jelena Dokic in the opening round, Stosur found the
going tough early, dropping the first set and going down a break in the second. But the Aussie was
gifted a break-back when Malek twice double-faulted in a game where she was serving at 4-2, and
once Stosur had broken back the match then continued on serve to the tie-break. Malek again got off to
the better start and led 4-0 but was unable to take the remaining 3 points for the match. And when
Stosur took the second set tie-break to force the match into a decider, she stepped up a gear and
Malek's golden opportunity was gone.
Lleyton Hewitt also progressed after the biggest upset of the competition to date. The 2002 champion
rediscovered his best form, and 5th seed Juan Martin Del Potro was never in the contest as Hewitt
cruised to a straight-sets victory.
For the majority of the seeds, Day 4 was plain sailing. 11th seed Agnieszka Radwanska struggled, but
eventually made it through after a 9-7 third set.
