Escapes,Tears and Business as Usual


Both Roger Federer and Venus Williams escaped against gallant opponents in matches played overnight.Roger Federer def. Jose Acasuso, 7-6 (10-8), 5-7, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 after coming from 1-5 down in the third set.Venus Williams found her self 4-5 in the third set before pulling off a win against Lucie Safarova, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 7-5. Neither Acasuso or Safarova were pencilled in to win and both Federer and Williams will have to perform better against the seeded players from now on.Spare a thought for comeback Queen Jelena Dokic who won the first set 6-2 against 4th seed Elena Dementieva and at 2-2 in the second set suffered an injury to her back.Ahead 3-2 and after an injury time out the injury worsened and at 3-4 down in the second Dokic had to retire giving Dementieva the win.Aussie girls perfomed well with Samantha Stosur (30) def. Yanina Wickmayer, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 whilst Wild card recipient Olivia Rogowska went down in three sets after serving for the match in the third against Kateryna Bondarenko 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.Below are all completed match results Day 5.
