Looking back on Day Six

Rafa Nadal's third-round victory over Luxembourg's Gilles Muller was hardly emphatic but it got the job done.

Rafa needed two tiebreaks before, tossing out a ''bagel'' to win the match 7-6, 7-6, 6-0.

Serena Williams also marched through, beating Maria Kinlenko 6-3, 6-2 after her toy-throwing incident saw her reinstated on Court No.1.

Roger Federer took just one hour and 46 minutes to send supposed ''nemesis'' David Nalbandian packing 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 but Djokovic made difficult work of a stubborn Marcus Baghdatis who he eventually beat 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, taking more than ten minutes to serve out the final game, such was the Cypriot's resistance.

Ivanovic was knocked out in the Ladies', while Sharapova won the opening game on Court No.2 against Zakopalova, which means the Russian's inane grunting will continue to annoy us into the second week. On that note, enjoy your Sunday off.
