Rain delay puts a stop to another day at the Aussie Open

All this rain is starting to feel like Wimbledon lol, (of course Australia needs this due to the drought and wild fires caused by the heat). But it still really screws with the tennis schedule. One of the biggest surprising developments today was Kuznetsova, Mauresmo and Safina being knocked out of the open.

Mauresmo got knocked out by a virtual unknown named Lucie Safarova, Kuznetsova's exit came courtesy of Shahar Peer and Safina was defeated by Na Li. Who will now face Hingis in the fourth round.

Very interesting and unexpected results, too bad we're left hanging waiting for the conclusion of the Williams/Jankovic match. So far Williams is leading 3/2 hope Jankovic can pull herself together and take Serena down.

Now the draw has really opened up, if someone could just kick Sharapova out of the running Hingis would be a shoe in for the title, well once she got passed Kim Clijsters that is. Which I have a good feeling about, I think she's gonna do just that at this Aussie Open.
