Day six of the Australian Open proved to have some surprising results. The day saw two matches between Belgium and Russia. While unseeded Justine Henin continued to win with a difficult match against Alisa Kleibanova, her fellow countrywoman Kim Clijsters didn't stand a chance against her russian opponent Nadia Petrova. Clijsters only scored one game, losing 0-6, 1-6.
Earlier on the day, Jelena Jankovic was surprisingly eliminated by currently world ranked 30, Alona Bondarenko with clear numbers: 6-2 6-3
After a tough match in round two, Juan Martin del Potro had again a troublesome match in round three. After a 2,5 hour match, he managed to beat Florian Mayer 6-3 0-6 6-4 7-5.
Philipp Kohlschreiber gave Rafael Nadal quite some trouble. Nadal thought he had the match 'in the bag' after winning the first two sets, but Kohlschreiber won the third, and managed to keep up in the fourth. In the end, Nadal won the fourth set 5-7, leading to a four-set win: 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, 5-7.
