Murray's erstwhile partner Booty is also doing well having lost a close first set against the 8th seeds, Bjorkman/Ullyett, he and his partner Fisher have taken the second 61.

Within minutes of each other mauresmo and nalbandian exit the tournament.

Looks like 5.9% of you were wrong. This opens up the draw for Andy, but he just needs to get past Almagro....easier said than done.

A true Nalbandianesque comeback from Chardy, coming from 2-0 down, and then a break down in the 5th

Blake losing is not so much of a surprise, but one of Gulbis, Lapentti, Bolelli and Llodra will now make quarter finals as Djokovic has one of the easiest GS draws you are ever going to see.

Great chance for Muzza to reach the QF's as well, but Almagro must be the big favourite to do so if he doesn't choke at the opportunity. If Muzza can beat Almagro, then it's Chardy or Tursunov in round 4, which is a draw that you would absolutely love to have

Federer roared through in 4, played some great stuff.

Anyone watching Santoro-Ferrer? I love to watch the magician play. Can't see him coming through this one though

The only stream that the Uni internet allowed to work seems to have stopped working for everyone, so I'm only able to follow on the scoreboard.

Ferrer should win this in straights to be honest as Santoro doesn't have enough to hurt Ferrer on a clay court, and would have lost to Korolev if he knew anything about keeping the ball in court

Ferrer just KILLED santoro 6-0 6-1 6-0. Easily the best performance of the tournament. He hit 43 winners! Considering he just played 19 games thats amazing.

He was serving in the 90s, and i was just stunned by that performance. I think he's probably peaked way too soon. His potential match against davydenko will be amazing.
