There were no major upsets in the mens' draw on middle Saturday, but it wasn't for a lack
of trying; as several of the top seeds suffered major scares before eventually progressing.
Second seed Rafael Nadal took the first set against Phillp Petzchner easily enough, but was
quickly broken in the second set as the German challenger went on to level the match. The
third set was an arm-wrestle, as both players attempted to create service breaks but
neither could succeed before the set went to a tie-break. But against all expectations,
Petzchner went on to take the tie-break and an upset beckoned. But it wasn't to be as
Nadal lifted to take the fourth and fifth sets easily to find his way through.
18th seed Sam Querry was taken all the way by Belgium's Xavier Malisse, in a marathon
that went to 9-7 in the final set. And after taking the first two sets against Jeremy Chardy,
9th seed David Ferrer lost his momentum and was taken to 5 sets before falling over the
line 7-5 in the final set.
No such dramas for Andy Murray, Robin Soderling or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who all got through
in straight sets.
But there were upsets in the womens' draw. 10th seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta was never
in the hunt against Klara Zakapalova and was bundled out in straight sets. Also departing
was 14th seed Victoria Azarenka. The first set was a close contest, with Petva Kvitova
prevailing 7-5, but Azarenka capitulated in the second set and failed to win a game.
And the tournament is over for Australia's Anastasia Rodionova, who was blasted off the
court by China's Na Li in straight sets. Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Agnieszka
Radwanska and Maria Sharapova were also untroubled in cruising through to the round of
16.
