The last Australian in the singles draws exited the tournament when Lleyton Hewitt bowed out at the
hands of 5th seeded Spaniard David Ferrer. In an epic match where the momentum was constantly
shifting, Hewitt raced to a 2 sets to 1 lead but was unable to last the distance as Ferrer fought back to
take the match.
Another 5-set epic saw 4th seed Nikolay Davydenko concede a 2 sets to 0 lead to go down to
Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic. Australian Open finallist Fernando Gonzalez also needed the maximum
match length but was successful in upsetting 9th seed Stanislas Wawrinka; and completing the
day's quota of 5-set marathons Gael Monfils got up over Jurgen Melzer in a match that went the full
distance.
No such dramas for top seed Roger Federer, who breezed into the round of 16 with a comfortable
straight-sets win.
The womens' draw saw few upsets, with Sharapova, Jankovic, Kuznetsova, Dementieva and
Zvonareva all cruising through in straight sets. But 12th seed Agnes Szavay was a third-round
casualty, going down to unseeded Czech Petra Kvitova.
