Aussie Update

Roddick sweeps out my boy Safin, but the big goofy Russian pushed him to tie breaks in the 1st and 4th. Federer dispatched Youzhny. American Mardy Fish gets a nice day off as his opponent, the Aussie Wayne Arthurs, retires in the first set.

I watched some of Serena Williams's comeback last night and I got to say, she didn't look fit. She only had 18 unforced errors but it sure felt like more than that watching her. She wasn't crisp around the lines and lucked out a bit in that her opponent, Nadia Petrova, was a panicky head case.

American Ashley Harkleroad continues her run today. And the Americans Blake and Ginepri face off. Brit Andy Murray plays the Argentine, Chela, could be fireworks. And hometown fave, Leytwon Hewitt, playing Fernando Gonzalez, who is 'hot' according the commentators, although the season just started--how 'hot' could he be? Hewitt will find out today.
