Friday saw the start of third round action, and the night session at Rod Laver Arena saw young Aussie Bernard Tomic
continue his giant-killing run. Up against Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov, Tomic dropped the first set before taking the
second and third sets in tie-breaks. It was Dolgopolov's third five-set match of the tournament, but after coming from
behind in the first two rounds, the strain of another comeback would be too much for him; and the deciding set saw
Bernard Tomic cruise to a stirring victory.
John Isner was the only other top 16 seed to drop a set, and he would also drop three of them. In a closely-contested
match against 18th seed Feliciano Lopez, Isner took two tie-breaks to force a deciding set, but in the fifth was no match
for Lopez.
No such dramas for Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer, who both cruised through in straight sets. Tomas Berdych was similarly
untroubled. Na Li had an easy day, with Anabel Medina Garrigues pulling out injured after just three games; while Caroline
Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Agneiszka Radwanska, Kim Clijsters and Jelena Jankovic all enjoyed easy straight sets wins.
