Australian Open 2010: Day 5 Round 3

The schedule for Hisense today was a bit different than usual. It was split into 2 sessions, the day session & the twilight session. The ticket that I got was for the day session. The schedule for the day session was Alona Bodarenko vs Jelena Jankovic, Justine Henin vs Alisa Kleybanova, and for the last match of the day session Andy Murray vs Florent Serra.

I arrived in Melbourne Park quite early. So I decided to walk around a little bit to kill sometime. I saw that the line at the Face Painting tent was quite short and thought to myself "Why the heck not?". So I got my face painted in the colors of the Belgium flag for Henin's match. I took a pic of my self in the toilet but some how the pic didnt turn out to well. So if you wanna see how I looked like with face paint, check out my msn dp.

First match up was Bodarenko the 31st seed vs Jankovic (Blue) the 8th seed. Because I had my face painted I almost missed the start of the match but luckily I didnt.





The match ended in a 6-2, 6-3 victory for Bodarenko. I was quite surprised by this one because Jankovic was playing quite poorly, not making the shots she normally makes and also making a lot of simple errors.


2nd match was Henin (blue) vs Kleybanova. I got my face painted for this match. So you could defnitely tell that I was looking forward to this match.





Henin won the match 3-6, 6-4, 6-2.


Last match for the day session featured Murray (blue, again) vs Serra. This was my first time seeing Murray play live, I was quite excited to see how he actually plays.






Despite a tough first set which Murray won 7-5, it was a simple victory in straights sets with a final score of 7-5, 6-1, 6-4.


I managed to get Bodarenko's autograph and Henin's but unfortunately not Murray's but oh well something better then nothing. Better not be too greedy.

Oh also, face paint is really hard to wash away.
