Rafael Nadal was upset that he was called for multiple time violations in his 7-6 (3) 7-5 7-6 (3) fourth round win over Kei Nishikori but he’s been a serial offender of the rule, even if he is one of the tour’s greatest and most exciting competitors.
Not a huge surprise given current form, but Caroline Wozniacki was defending fourth round points. She will lose her Top Ten spot. Garbine Muguruza is up to #35 -- and seems sure to climb even higher. Maybe not this week, but soon.

Just after Alicia Molik became the show stopper at the Australian Open and before Jelena Dokic wowed the crowds at Rod Laver Arena, the quiet lefthander Casey Dellacqua raised the roof, coming out of nowhere in 2008 to reach the fourth round...
...even though he worked with her for five weeks during the off-season, coach Paul Annacone will not join Sloane Stephens in Australia. She will be coached by her hitting partner, Andrew Fitzpatrick.
Sometimes the transition from the juniors to the pros is a difficult one - the raw talent is apparent, they just need some time to develop the complete package.
