Aussie Open Recap Day 6
Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:44AM 
Rusty's on a rollThe old man's still got it: Former number 1 Lleyton Hewitt, who has been plagued by injuries over the past few years, defeated the young up-and-comer and number 23 seed Milos Raonic in 4 sets, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3. According to ATP manager Greg Sharko, Rusty's wins over Roddick and Raonic are his first back to back top 25 wins since 2005. I'm not even a fan of Lleyton but his reaction to winning almost (almost) made me cry.
Hitting a milestone: Not a tennis milestone, (he already did that) but Nicolas Mahut turned 30 today. His present? A bagel and some breadsticks in a straight set loss to Novak Djokovic, 6-0, 6-1, 6-1. BUT, he did get a cake in his presser, although he doesn't look too happy about it.

Upsets: Vera Zvonareva [7], Marion Bartoli [9], and Gael Monfils [14].
Getting into character: - Zheng Jie, "After my video, every player watch me don’t say hello, say Yo, Yo". She also apparently "brushed her shoulders off" in her presser!
Last American standing: Serena Williams. Vania King lost in straight sets 6-3, 6-4 to Ana Ivanovic.
The 'Business End': And with this post we journey into the Round of 16. A lot of crazy good match-ups coming your way. Get your popcorn ready folks.
