Overall standings

Another day, another leader, as Frederick Warburg jumps to the top! Today was a great day for those few who, like Frederick, picked Hingis to advance to the quarterfinal instead of either Pierce or Ivanovic, since both the latter players lost today. Frederick benefitted from that prediction, since he lost no points and bounded from 13th place to the front.

Yesterday's leader Larry Yonce lost three points (2 with Ivanovic, 1 with Pierce). He now shares second place with Yoonho Ji, who was one of the Hingis-pickers.

Men's draw

With no major surprises on the programme, Peter Versteege maintains his lead over Gary Ellis and Frederick Warburg.

Tomorrow's key third-rounder:

Tommy Robredo (ESP)[16] vs. James Blake (USA)[20]:
Sydney champion Blake was our most popular selection among the 17-32 seeds. But he has looked a tad shaky in dropping sets to Acasuso and Faurel. Robredo has yet to reach the fourth round here, and lost to Blake at last year's US Open.

Women's draw

Today's shockers leave Craig Willeford and Mark Langley tied for the lead!

Neither Craig nor Mark was among the 7 co-leaders yesterday. But they vaulted over the mob by avoiding both of the major upset victims, Pierce and Ivanovic. Craig was particularly impressive, losing no points and hopping up from 29th place.

Heartbreaker of the Day:

Iveta Benesova

Fifth seed Pierce was strongly fancied by many to go deep in the tournament, but instead finds herself ousted at the hands of uneeded Czech Benesova. Pierce struggled to keep the ball in play, while Iveta played a clean match to make a Slam third round for the first time. On Saturday she will play some unknown named Hingis for a spot in the round of sixteen.

Tomorrow's key third-rounder:

Daniela Hantuchova (SVK)[17] vs. Serena Williams (USA)[13]:
32 contestants picked Daniela under the assumption that Serena was not in a good enough condition to defend her title. The moment of truth is at hand!
