Serena Advances, Tommy Robredo Out

by Erica on January 16th, 2008

In the middle of the third day at the Australian Open and Serena Williams has just advanced to the third round over Meng Yuan 6-3, 6-1.

“I’m just having fun,” said Williams. “I was here a couple weeks earlier to get used to the conditions, and I’m really just enjoying myself each match.”

No. 11 Tommy Robredo bowed out of the Australian Open at the hands of Mardy Fish to the tune of  6-0, 6-1, 6-2. Rafael Nadal also went three and out, putting away Florent Serra 6-0, 6-2, 6-2.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is still alive in the tourney after rolling No. 9 Andy Murray on the first day, beating Sam Warburg 6-4, 7-6, 6-2.

Justine Henin will face Francesca Schiavone in round three, and Jelena Jankovic just beat Edina Gallovits 6-2, 7-5 to advance. Also advancing for the women is Amelie Mauresmo.

If only I didn’t have to wait until the wee hours of the morning to watch this tournament. I’d love to watch my boy Andy Roddick or the matchup between Maria Sharapova and Lindsay Davenport, but let’s face it, it’s this thing called life and a real job.

It certainly makes waking up in the morning more fun though. It’s like a kid at Christmas - I run to my computer and check to see what Santa made happen in the middle of the night!
