 Three-times former champion Martina Hingis is briefly behind in the first set of her third-round match against Iveta Benesova  But Benesova crumbles at 4-4 in the first set and that allows Hingis to take complete control  And Hingis' 6-4 6-1 win means she has dropped only 10 games so far in her first Grand Slam since 2002  Promising 16-year-old Nicole Vaidisova wastes little time in the searing Melbourne heat, beating Flavia Pennetta 6-4 6-2 |

 Anastasia Myskina is in typically changeable mood - but still posts a 6-3 6-1 win over Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden  Affable Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean manages a smile in his tense four-set win over sixth seed Guillermo Coria  But there are tears on Rod Laver Arena as Michaella Krajiek retires against Amelie Mauresmo with heat stress  The heat is not enough to stop marathon man Dominik Hrbaty - who wins his third straight five-set match |

 Max Mirnyi has the unenviable task of facing Roger Federer in the third round and loses the first set 6-3  The World Number One soon wraps up the rest of the match taking the next two sets 6-4 6-3, to reach the fourth round |

Errors Costly For Vesnina
Sunday, 22 January, 2006
by Scott Spits
No.6 seed Nadia Petrova has become the first Russian through to the quarter-finals of Australian Open 2006, comfortably dispatching young compatriot Elena Vesnina 6-3 6-1 in 62 minutes.
With the Extreme Heat Policy enacted early on Day Seven, the match was played under a closed roof at Vodafone Arena and Petrova was able to achieve her best result in seven tournaments at Melbourne Park by reaching at least the final eight in 2006.
The unforced errors count told the tale for the two players with 19-year-old Vesnina committing 35, compared to just 13 for the higher-ranked Petrova. Most of those errors came from the backhand of Vesnina and it was undoubtedly her Achilles heel.
Petrova won seven straight games from 3-3 in the first set to 4-0 in the second. Importantly, Vesnina broke the streak by breaking serve, converting her second break point with a perfectly-timed forehand offensive lob.
23-year-old Petrova is in the middle of a purple patch of form at Grand Slam events after a semi-final appearance at Roland Garros and quarter-final berths at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2005.

Davenport Breezes Past Kuznetsova
Sunday, 22 January, 2006
by Bren O'Brien
Women's No.1 seed Lindsay Davenport has progressed through to the quarter-finals of Australian Open 2006 with 6-2 6-4 win over Russian No.14 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Davenport, who won the Australian Open in 2000 and was the runner-up to Serena Williams in 2005, breezed through the first set in just 18 minutes and looked like having a similarly easy passage through the second set on Rod Laver Arena.
But after racing to a 3-0 lead, she lost the next four games and received treatment on an injured foot as the Russian fought back. However, Kuznetsova, the 2004 US Open champion, continued to make unforced errors, costing her service in the ninth game and the match when she netted a backhand in the tenth game.
Davenport now plays Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne, who blitzed Virginia Ruano Pascual 6-0 6-3.
