Australian Open Round 1-4

FIRST ROUND
BBC - Tim Henman's Australian Open challenge was ended at the first hurdle by his Wimbledon conqueror Dmitry Tursunov.
BBC - Andy Murray went out of the Australian Open with a whimper on Tuesday as Argentina's Juan Ignacio Chela strolled to a 6-1 6-3 6-3 first-round win.

Results of my country's players:
Daniele Bracciali (Ita) bt Yen-Hsun Lu (Tpe)
Yeu-Tzuoo Wang (Tpe) bt Mariano Zabaleta (Arg)

SECOND ROUND
BBC - Lleyton Hewitt has crashed out of the second round of the Australian Open after a brutal four-set defeat at the hands of Juan Ignacio Chela.

(26) Jarkko Nieminen (Fin) bt Yeu-Tzuoo Wang (Tpe)

Yeu-Tzuoo Wang? Too complicated for you guys to pronounce I guess...let's just call him Jimmy. It's his first time to go into the second round of a Grand Slam, though lost to the 26th seed. Congratulate to him to make another steep forward in his career, and become the second player to do that in my country. Jimmy was my classmate in primary school, and I got him in my MSN contact list. He's always in different places of the world, joining competitions. Like football, tennis is not that popular here, and I think most people don't know how much effort our players make overseas. That's a shame as I think Jimmy got a lot of potential and he's still young to make progress.
I've only once seen him play. That was Wimbledon 2004 first round, and he played against Andy Roddick on the centre court. Well, thanks to that, it's the only chance to see him on TV, though there wasn't obviously chance to get through. Now I'm looking forward to the Wimbledon this year as I may luckly get the free ticket if he manages to join the tournament without playing qualifying matches. Come on! Good luck Jimmy!

BBC - Aussie Open quotes - "It is not easy for players in Asia. Asia is not like the United States or Europe. The weather is not conducive and the facilities are not so good. They need to be improved." - Asia's number two Wang Yeu-tzuoo after his defeat to Jarkko Nieminen.

THIRD ROUND

FOURTH ROUND
BBC - Marcos Baghdatis produced a magical display of shot-making to shock second seed Andy Roddick 6-4 1-6 6-3 6-4 in the Australian Open fourth round.
