After marathon evening sessions on Friday and Saturday, it was a much shorter evening on Sunday,
giving everyone involved with the Open a chance for an early night to catch up on some sleep.
The evening session started with the end of the Aussie womens' charge, when Casey Dellacqua
was eliminated in straight sets by Jelena Jankovic, and was wrapped up quickly when a leg injury to
Paul-Henri Matthieu forced him to withdraw during the second set of his match against Rafael Nadal.
The upsets continued on day 7. 4th seed Nikolay Davydenko was a casualty, going out in straight
sets to Mikhail Youzhny. Former Wimbledon finallist David Nalbandian's quest to finally win a grand
slam title continues to elude him, with the Argentinian going down in straight sets to Juan Carlos
Ferrero. And in 4 sets, 8th seed Richard Gasquet went down to unseeded compatriot Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga.
There were few dramas in the womens section of the draw. Henin, Jankovic, Sharapova and
Serena Williams all enjoyed comfortable straight-sets wins. The only upset was the departure of
24th seed Na Li at the hands of Poland's Marta Domachowska.
After his epic clash with Andy Roddick on Friday night, Philipp Kolschreiber was unable to produce
another victory; although his match against Jarkko Niemenen was the best match of the day.
Niemenen gained the edge when he won tense tie-breaks in the second and third sets, before
consolidating his advantage by twice breaking Kolschreiber in the fourth set to ensure his
progression to the quarter-finals.
