Baghdatis shoulder collapse gives Hewitt quick victory, faces Federer in next round • Stosur, Azarenka move ahead
MELBOURNE, Jan 23: The self-appointed sports capital of Australia got a feast of tennis on a lazy, sun-drenched Saturday afternoon.
While top-seeded and three-time champion Roger Federer played Albert Montanes in a Rod Laver Arena crammed with 15,000 fans, top-ranked and Australian Open defending champion Serena Williams took on Carla Suarez Navarro at the neighboring show arena with a retractable roof that seats 10,000.
One hour and 48 minutes and 1:21 later, respectively, Federer and Williams walked off their courts after booking fourth-round matches on Monday. Federer beat Montanes 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 and Williams defeated Suarez Navarro 6-0, 6-3.
