Novac Djokovic este primul dintre favoritii de la Australian Open care si-a asigurat calificarea in faza optimilor de finala. Numarul 3 mondial a pierdut doar un set in fata americanului Amer Delic, scor 6-2 4-6 6-3 7-6. Pe tabloul feminin, Dinara Safina nu a avut emotii cu estonianca Kanepi (25 WTA) si rusoaica il asteapta in optimi pe fratele sau, Marat Safin, care are misiunea de a-l elimina pe Roger Federer, in cel mai tare meci de pe tabloul baietilor, de pana acum la Melbourne. Tot in aceasta seara vor mai evolua si dublul Horia Tecau/Andrei Pavel, impotriva perechii formata din Ivo Karlovic si Jean Claude Scherrer.
