On day 4, the sun finally came out and a full day's play was possible; enabling the first round to be
completed and a start made on round 2 matches.
It was a great day for the Australians; with 3 Aussie winners going through to the second round.
Lleyton Hewitt was untroubled by Frenchman Nicolas Mahut and cruised through to a straight-sets
win. But the shocks were in the womens' section, with Australian Open giant-killer Casey Dellacqua
continuing her golden 2008 by defeating 9th seed Marion Bartoli. Sam Stosur, on the comeback trail
after a run of serious injuries, also had success with a win over 17th seed Shahar Peer.
Most of the remaining results went according to the form book, the major exception being 11th seed
Tomas Berdych, who was stunned in 5 sets by French doubles specialist Michael Llodra. 20th seed
Ivo Karlovic was also a casualty, going to 5 sets before losing to Colombian Alejandro Folla. Juan
Carlos Ferrero succumbed to injury in the second set of his match against Marcos Daniel and was
forced to retire.
Maria Sharapova was made to fight all the way, taken to 8-6 in the third set by Russian Evgeniya
Rodina. Anna Chakvetadze and Elena Dementieva were also taken to 3 sets but got through. Mens'
18th seed Paul-Henri Mathieu survived a scare, coming from 2 sets down against Oscar Hernandez
before coming from behind to take the win.
