Only one first round match remains to be finished, but all of the top 16 mens' seeds have
made it to the second round; while only one top 16 womens' seed has fallen by the
wayside. 9th seed Dinara Safina was the sole victim, squandering a set and a break lead to
go down in 3 sets to Japanese veteran Kimiko Date Krumm.
6th seed Andy Roddick suffered a scare against Finland's Jarkko Nieminen. Roddick won the
first set easily enough, but Nieminen fought back to take the second and third sets 6-4, and
with an early break in the fourth set looked set for victory. But Roddick held his nerve and
slowly but surely worked his way back into the contest, breaking back and then getting up
in the 4th set tiebreak to take the match to a deciding set.
It was a great day for the Australians, with every Aussie in action going through. Lleyton
Hewitt, Jarmila Groth and Anastasia Rodionova all had comfortable straight-sets victories to
set up appearances in the second round.
