Clearly Tommy Robredo's great comeback is still continuing. It's very likely that this will take him to #16; Richard Gasquet remains #9 for now, but he is in danger of losing that spot to countryman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. It's a substantial help to Roger Federer, though, who now is almost certain to stay #8 or higher.
Every morning during the Australian Open I walk to the tennis which is about a mile away from my hotel. During my walk I cross a bridge, underneath there are train tracks leading to Melbourne train station.

Darren Cahill has long been regarded as the measured Australian voice of tennis. His commentary work with ESPN and his stellar coaching of both Lleyton Hewitt and Andre Agassi to the world no.1 ranking earned him great respect. Now Cahill has serious words of warning for Bernard Tomic...

On the other hand, this opens a big opportunity for Murray and for David Ferrer. Juan Martin del Potro seemed to be rather dazed by the end -- perhaps the heat got to him; he's a very big guy, after all -- and Roberto Bautista Agut played very good tennis, and it ended with del Potro the first of the top ten seeds to fall.
By contrast to Azarenka, Sharapova spent three and a half hours feeling the full burden of the heat; it's a good thing she has a day off! Karin Knapp managed to add a few points but will fall at least one ranking spot, from #44 to #45.
Today was a long one. For the first time all tourney the heat rule came into affect and pushed tennis back in to the wee hours of the night. The day concluded with 5 setters spread all over the grounds, the upset of the tournament so far was my guy Del Po going out in the 2nd rd.
