Ivanovic shocks Serena Williams - knocks her out of Australian Open

Biggest upset of Australian Open: World no.1 Serena Williams (left) knocked out of race by Ana Ivanovic (right) in the fourth round of Australian Open

Australian Open is almost over with its Round Four  matches for ladies singles on Day 7 Sunday today.

The matches played in the fourth round take 'almost' all seeded players forward and closer to their title aspirations. However, there have been two upsets!!

The biggest setback of rated and top seeded players came today when 14th ranked Serbian Ana Ivanovic beat world no 1 Serena Williams of USA 4-6 6-3 6-3. Serena Williams was aspiring for the Australian title this year - and some even commented that the year 2014 belonged to the American. 

But Serena's ouster today leaves many doubts of her future matches. Well for now, both Williams sisters are out of Melbourne's women singles - this also brings an end to the winning spree of Serena who after Wimbledon  US Open and Istanbul felt very confidant of bagging the first Grand Slam of the year.

In view of Serena's continuous 25 straight matches win, no one imagined that Ana Ivanovic, the 14th ranked player, could upset the world no.1 and knock her out of the competition. It was shocking to see Williams pushed to the brink this early in a major tournament, and she never looked comfortable in the final set.

Ivanovic advances to a quarter-final matchup against Canadian Eugenie Bouchard. 

The results of other women singles of round four are as under:

30th ranked Canadian Eugenie Bouchard beat Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-7(5) 6-2 6-0. It seems hosts Australians are having a tough time in the competition as already Hewitt and Tomic (men's singles) have been knocked out of the competition. Eugenie Bouchard now faces Ana Ivanovic in the quarters.  
           
4th ranked Chinese Li Na beat 22nd ranked Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-2 6-0
                  
There is yet another upset: Ouster of ninth ranked Kerber - 28th ranked Italian Flavia Pennetta beat 9th ranked Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-1 4-6 7-5

Australian Open Results Day-2 Round-1 | Hewitt and Tomic Out of Melbourne

Tomic (right) retires after losing the first set to Nadal (left) on Day-2 Round-1 match

It was a bad day for the Australians as both Australian players, Hewitt and Tomic, were left out of the race right in the first round of the Australian Open at Melbourne on the Day-2 of the competition.

The match to watch on Day-2 today was between world no.1 Rafael Nadal and Bernard Tomic of Australia. However, the match ended in unusual circumstances after Bernard Tomic retired at a time when Nadal had won the first set 6-4. Tomic, 21, pulled up with a groin injury following a serve in the first game of the match and only continued after off-court treatment.

During their time on court Nadal claimed an impressive 88% of his first-service points, with the speed of his first serve averaging 181 kilometres per hour.

In an other surprise ouster, Australian Hewitt crashed out of the competition when 24th ranked Italian A Seppi beat him in a full five set match 7(7)-6(4), 6-3, 7-5, 7-5, 7-5. The results show for itself how much resilience Hewitt put in, specially in the last three sets to win over the Italian. But Seppi proved too good to be scared and won the match.

As for other men's single events, 6th ranked Roger Federer beat J.Duckworth of Australia in straight and easy sets 6-4, 6-4 and 6-2.


In another important match, British No.1 and the Wimbledon champion Andy Murray moved to the second round beating the Melbourne heat and world No. 112 Soeda 6-1 6-1 6-3. 

In the women singles' category, defending champion Victoria Azarenka of Belarus beat 91st ranked Swede Larsson 7(7)-6(2) and 6-2 to march on to possibly meet Serena Williams in the final to defend her title - or would it be Maria Sharapova coming face to face with Serena. In fact Azarenka does not seem to be in full form as she has lost six of her last ten matches - the last against Serena in Brisbane.

Maria Sharapova, the world no.3 beat American B.Mattek-Sands 6-3, 6-4 to move on to the second round.

Serena Williams and Azarenka to clash in US Open Final on Sunday

Well who could have doubted about Serena's entry into the US Open final to be played on Saturday?

Well she, despite her age, has the strength and form of a youngster and can withstand anyone who dares to play her and she comes out winning. She has moved to the US Open final for the third straight year without any real threat from any of her opponents - the last one was Na Li, who was shown the exit 6-0, 6-3.

In the second semi final on Friday, Victoria Azarenka, the world no.2 from Belarus also did not find Italian F. Pennetta any threat to her place in the Final by beating Pennetta 6-4, 6-2.

So that makes the fiinal pair - world no.1 and the defending champion against world no.2 from Belarus. This year, this is rather unusual for a different finalist facing Serena as normally it is Russian Maria Sharapova who moves up the ladder brilliantly each each only to be over awed by Serena and losiing to her so very easily.

But this year, it is Azarenka - eight years younger to Serena, who has played against Serena sixteen times, winning only thrice. But their last encounter at Cincinnati this year was different. Azarenka beat Serena in the final 2-6 6-2 7-6(6). 

So this poses a miillion dollars question: Would azarenka let Serena defend her title?

Lets us watch the final Saturday today.

Nadal's fellow countryman Fourth-seeded David Ferrer slogged through a four-set war versus Janko Tipsarevic 7-6 (2), 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (3).

8th seeded Richard Gasquet beat 10th seeded Milos Raonic in a tough five set match 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (9), 7-5 to qualify for the quarters.
