In another day of few upsets, third seed Novak Djokovic had a scare when he required a series of injury
time-outs to have a troublesome ankle attended to; but eventually his fitness and form prevailed for him to
take a straight-sets win against Wimbledon giant-killer Arnaud Clement.
Second womens' seed Jelena Jankovic was also given a scare when she dropped a second-set tiebreak
against Sweden's Sofia Arvidsson and had to wait through an exhausting third set before finally achieving
the match-winning break.
All the mens seeds advanced; but an upset in the womens' draw when 8th seed Vera Zvonereva was out
of sorts against the Ukraine's Tatiana Perebiynis and was bundled out in straight sets.
The only Australian in singles action, Chris Guccione, had an even struggle with the USA's Jesse Levine,
but the tall left-hander took tiebreaks in the third and fourth sets to take the match and give a ray of hope
to the Australian charge.
