NOVAK, THE GRAND SLAM QUEST BY DUSAN VEMIC

Today's match vs Andy Murray ( @andy_murray ) where Murray has shown that he is finally 100% healthy after his back surgery. The match was up in the air and could have, quite frankly, really had gone either way until the key break Nole made in the third set (4/3), and solidifying it by holding his own serve to close the third set 6/3.

ROGER FEDERER LOSES TO SEPPI IN EARLIEST ROUND IN A DOZEN YEARS FOR HIM @ THE AUZZIE OPEN

The commentators thought that the double-fault that followed was critical, but whatever the crucial point (if there was one), Panova failed to convert two match points, leaving Maria Sharapova still in the hunt for the #1 ranking. She'll surely have to do better than this, though.
