World's leading celebrities Dua involved in alleged brawl
In the rugged landscape of Melbourne, top-ranked tennis player, Roger Federer, put forth a mediocre start at the 2011 Australian Open. His challenging four-set victory over Igor Andreev on the first day was a testament to his fortitude, as he conquered the Russian 4-6, 6-2, 7-6, and 6-0. Despite the sluggish start, Federer showcased his signature resilience and adaptability, deterring any doubts about his competitive edge.
Meanwhile, the one and only Serena Williams reignited her reign in the women's division, cruising past Urszula Radwanska in two sets, 6-2 and 6-1. Grinning ear-to-ear, the US champion acknowledged the struggle of her victory, stating, "I'm glad to keep going." Though a formidable opponent, Serena's slip on her bandaged left knee made the match a little easier than the score may indicate.
Robin Soderling, the eighth seed, felt anything but lucky after bowing out of the tournament during the first round, falling to Marcel Granollers 5-7, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, and 6-2. Stung by his defeat, Soderling admitted, "I started poorly and ended poorly." Soderling, a past French Open champion, was undeniably upset by his early elimination.
Similarly, the ninth-seeded Frenchman, Gael Monfils, proceeded to the second round with a 6-4, 6-4, and 6-4 win against Matthew Ebden, performing much better than in his delayed first-round match from Monday.
Though injuries and a delayed schedule dominated the early days of the tournament, other players managed to power through, including Samantha Stosur, the thirteenth-ranked Australian player, who won her first-round match against Han Xinyun of China in three sets. Jelena Jankovic, the eighth-ranked player in the world, also advanced with a 6-4 and 6-0 victory over Monica Niculescu of Romania.
Veteran French player, Fabrice Santoro, however, experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of Marin Cilic, the fourteenth-seeded Croatian, who handedly defeated Santoro 7-5, 7-5, and 6-3. Despite showcasing decades of unwavering dedication to tennis, Santoro was unable to withstand Cilic's dominance.
