Wednesday at the Open was Australia Day, Australia's national holiday. And although the Aussies were long gone
from the singles draws, more huge crowds attended Melbourne Park to take in the quarter final action. The highlight of
the day was an absorbing match between British 5th seed Andy Murray and the unseeded Ukrainian Alexandr
Dolgopolov.
Murray was the hottest of favourites, but was finding Dolgopolov a hard nut to crack early, and the break would not
come until the 12th game, but was enough to get the Scot over the line in the first set. The second set also went to
Murray, and the result was looking a foregone conclusion.
But Dolgopolov fought back in the third set, twice coming from a break behind to then find himself a break ahead. But
unable to serve out the set, it went to a tie-break, and it was the Ukrainian who won the third set decider to take the
match to a fourth set. Murray broke away early in the fourth set, two breaks of serve seeing him go 4-0 ahead. But
Dolgopolov against all expectations broke Murray twice to get the set back on serve. But at 3-4, serving to level the set,
he was unable to hold as Murray established another break, and then served out the match.
The evening session saw a stunning boilover as Rafael Nadal went down to compatriot David Ferrer. Troubled by a
leg injury, Nadal's movements were clearly restricted through the match, and Ferrer's superior fitness on the day saw
him cruise through for a straight-sets win.
Second seed Vera Zvonarava and third seed Kim Clijsters set up a semi final clash when they both enjoyed easy
straight-sets wins in their quarter finals.
