Hi everyone. Here's your Crisis Center for today, so that you can discuss the matches going on at Melbourne Park. Please keep this space for tennis-related talk, as it helps keep the volume of comments manageable.
Matches of the Day:
Men
We're into the third round, and most of the matches are interesting. Here are just a few:
Women
Svetlana Kuznetsova, Elena Dementieva and Serena Williams are also in action today, along with Carla Suarez Navarro, who after beating Venus Williams in the second round takes on her compatriot Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez.
Player of the Day:
On the women's side, this must go to Jelena Dokic, who after a rocky start was able to comprehensively outplay eleventh seed Caroline Wozniacki to trimpph in three sets. So far, Dokic's comeback is proving to be the story of the week. She next plays Alisa Kleybanova, who merits an honourable mention in disposing of Ana Ivanovic yesterday, also in three sets.
On the men's side, today's pick is Marin Cilic, the 19th seed, who was convincing in his victory over 11th seed David Ferrer.
As always, enjoy the tennis.
