Tomic will do well to get 6 or 7 games off him.
Would like to see him go ok but rafa is looking awesome at moment

Tomic got up.

Molik down 5-4 in the first set.

Loving Casey Dellacqua doing commentary on FOX. Her and Nick McArdle have been talking about footy and the Minogue's half the day.

Is Casey injured or not playing?

Had an operation in August to correct an issue with stress fractures in her foot - removed the lateral seasmoid in her right foot, so off the tour for up to nine months.

Todd Woodbridge may think twice before he texts about a player again:

Did you see the interview. It was hilarious.

I hope she wins it.

Stosur through.

Stosur - Clijsters semi final on the cards.

Stosur through.

Stosur - Clijsters semi final on the cards.

The section of the draw with Venus Williams is intriguing. She should play Maria Sharapova in the fourth round, and then head into a quarter final with Li Na - who, herself, is a very genuine smokey to win the tournament. Interestingly, looking at the odds on the winner, Li Na is at $17,

EDIT NOTE - I accidentally hit "edit" instead of "quote" on this one, when trying to add it to a post today, Jan 26.

[CK]

Novak Djokovic through to the fourth round after Viktor Troicki retired after losing the first set 2-6.
Anastasija Sevastova through to the fourth round for the first time in a Grand Slam with a straight sets win.

[CK]

Justine Henin out in straight sets.

[Jim05]

Justine Henin out in straight sets.

Hooray.
I know shes a great player but does anyone else find her dull?

[dedja]

Great norks on the bird playing Sharapova ...

[CK]

Tomas Berdych quite systematic in dismantling Richard Gasquet in straight sets today, despite losing some concentration in the second set. A very genuine chance after reaching the French Open semis and the Wimbledon final in 2010.

[sapaul]

Venus Williams out. Only lasted 1 game against Petrovic before retiring hurt.

So thats why she was $26..that investment didnt turn out like it was supposed to

[CK]

Australian double tonight on centre court - Sam Stosur tackles Petre Kvitova in the first game, with Bernard Tomic meeting Rafael Nadal in the second match. Probable there will only be one Australian left by the end, although a big danger game for Stosur.
