Saturday action saw plenty of upsets, none more so than first up on Court Phillipe Chatrier. Australian
Samantha Stosur was up against 4th seed Elena Dementieva, and against all expectations it was the
Aussie who made the early front-running with an early service break on her way to taking the first set 6-3.
Dementieva fought back to take the second set, but the third was all one-way traffic as Stosur was playing
the match of her life to take the set 6-1 and move through to the round of 16.
Mens' 4th seed Novak Djokovic also bowed out. German 29th seed Philipp Kohlschreiber gained key
service breaks when they mattered in each set to take the match in straight sets.
Danish 10th seed Caroline Wozniacki was also a third-round casualty, going down in straight sets to
unseeded Romanian Sorana Cirstea.
Second seed Serena Williams was in trouble in her match against unseeded Spaniard Maria Jose
Martinez Sanchez, dropping the first set and going down a break in the second. But a run of 5 straight
games gave Williams the second set, and with the match back on even terms Williams was able to last
the distance and take the match. Victoria Azarenka also dropped a set against Carla Suarez Navarro but
got through.
French 32nd seed Paul-Henri Mathieu had hopes of an upset when he took the opening set against
Roger Federer; but that set spurred the Swiss master into action and a 4-set victory.
The other Aussie in action on Day 7, Jarmila Groth, was never in the hunt against Jelena Jankovic and
bowed out 6-1 6-1. Also progressing in straight sets were Juan Martin Del Potrol Andy Roddick,
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Agnieszka Radwanska.
