Australian Open 2014 - Day 5

As the number of players begin to fall we get to see some real contention. Here are some interesting results.

Florian Mayer (Germany)
VS
Jerzy Janowicz (Poland) [20]
7-5,6-2,6-2

We saw this coming but you'd have thought Janowicz would put up more of a fight.


Kevin Anderson (South Africa) [19]
VS
Edouard Roger-Vasselin (France)
3-6,4-6,6-3,7-6(7-5),7-5

It was looking like the end two sets down but Anderson climbed all the way back.


Tommy Robredo (Spain) [17]
VS
Richard Gasquet (France) [9]
2-6,7-5,6-4,7-6(8-6)

This was always going to be one of the tougher match-ups in the end it was the Spaniard who prevailed.


Na Li (China) [4]
VS
Lucie Safarova (Czech Republic) [26]
1-6,7-6(7-2),6-3

It was a real tussle and at points it looked like it was all gone for Na Li but she showed her mettle as a top tier player over the much less reliable fSafarova.


Samantha Stosur (Australia) [17]
VS
Ana Ivanovic (Serbia) [14]
7-6(10-8),4-6,2-6

A tough battle, a great first set but in the end it was Ivanovic who held out strongest.
