Aussie teenager Bernard Tomic may have drawn the short straw with the fixture - second
match of the night session - but he put up an almighty fight against 14th seed Marin Cilic
and could have taken out the contest. The match was a marathon of nearly five hours,
finishing after 2am; but in the end it was the Croatian who advanced after a 5 set struggle.
Another epic 5-setter was the match between 4th seed Juan Martin Del Potro and the
USA's James Blake. A match of twists in form and momentum, it was to go the full distance
and more before the US Open champion Del Potro took the match 10-8 in the fifth set.
Elena Dementieva has usually been a contender who made it to the latter stages of the
Australian Open, but 2009 saw her bow out in the second round. Drawn to play Belgian
Justine Henin, on the comeback trail after coming out of retirement, the match was one
where the momentum swung with both players achieving numerous service breaks, but an
all-important break gave Henin the first set and taking the points when they were up for
grabs in the second set tie-break got Henin over the line.
Another seeded casualty on day 3 was Italy's Flavia Pennetta. Belgian Yanina Wickmayer,
having been suspended after her US Open semi final appearance and therefore having
been too late entering the tournament to get a seeding, dominated against the 12th seed
to progress to the third round.
On HiSense Arena, Andy Roddick's remonstrations with the referee and line judges in the
latter stages of the match clouded his straight-sets win over Brazil's Thomaz Bellucchi. The
7th seed, frustrated when hawkeye challenges twice denied him victory at match point,
refused to shake the umpire's hand after the match.
Another unsavoury talking point was on Show Court 3, where crowd misbehaviour was a
key issue. Fans during the match between Fernando Gonzalez and Marsel Ilhan, which
Gonzalez won in straight sets, let off flares and engaged in scuffles while talking and
chanting during points. It was a disappointing display after the behaviour of Croatian fans
on the opening day created headlines.
