Day 4 was a day of contrasting fortunes for the top seeds. Rafael Nadal advanced easily, barely
raising a sweat in his straight-sets victory over South African qualifier Ryler DeHeart. But for womens'
top seed Ana Ivanovic it was a tale of woe that went from bad to worse. Up against little-known French
challenger Julie Coin, Ivanovic put up an uncharacteristic display of unforced errors, double faults
and poor shot selection to go down in three sets in one of the biggest upsets in the competitions'
history.
There were other upsets, such as the defeats of Agnes Szavay, Nicole Vaidisova and Paul-Henri
Mathieu. But it was Ivanovic's shock loss that had everyone talking.
Most of the other major seeds advanced comfortably. The Williams sisters, Dinara Safina, David
Nalbandian and James Blake all progressed without dropping a set. David Ferrer and Andy Murray
were both taken to 4 sets but still comfortably progressed.
And the tournament of Australian reciprocal wildcard Jessica Moore is over, defeated in straight sets
by German Anna-Lena Groenefeld.
