Australian Open- Day 5


While the men's top seeds have looked fantastic in dominating their first few matches, the woman have looked less stunning. Another shockming upset on the women's side developed today when Russian upstart Alisa Kleybanova took down 5th seeded Ana Ivanovic. The match went to 3 sets, with Kleybanova racing out to a 3-1 lead. A crucial and spectacular volley put Kleybanova ahead 4-2 and she took her lead and ran with it, dominating the next two games.
