0032: The thing is, Paddy, this is not exactly the first Woz derby we have enjoyed. As our friends at the WTA point out, the pair “played 5 times last year (Caroline won 4 and retired in the other match)”. And BBC Sport’s Caroline Cheese maintains she was the first to dub the match “Woz not Woz”. But I doubt it. It’s on serve early in that one right now.0030: “Surely some mention of the Wozniacki Wozniak game Sounds like a telly tubby conference to me…”
From Paddy via text
0026: An otherwise magnificent tournament is again blighted by the quality of celebs on show. Today we have the bloke who directs Battlestar Galactica, an Australian Idol judge, and West Indies cricketer Dwayne Bravo. An eclectic mix.0023: Kuznetsova breaks back to lead 2-1 against Pavlyuchenkova, while fourth seed Wozniacki, seventh seed Azarenka and ninth seed Zvonareva are all under way. It really is a text commentator’s delight at the start of day three. My fingers hurt already, thank goodness for Li Na - the 16th seed is 3-0 up on Marina Erakovic.

0015: When I say it isn’t scorching in Melbourne, I might be wrong. The sun is certainly beating down on Rod Laver Arena as Kuznetsova plays a very odd opening game against 2006 and 2007 Aussie junior champion Pavlyuchenkova, being broken after rolling in some very gentle serves.0009: Before we stare too intently at our navels I should point out that the international community has managed to produce a few half-decent players, and some of them are in action soon. Svetlana Kuznetsova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova open proceedings on Rod Laver Arena before Kim Clijsters and then Rafael Nadal take centre stage. Hisense Arena kicks off with Caroline Wozniacki against Aleksandra Wozniak, with Andy Roddick, Dinara Safina and Juan Martin del Potro to follow.0004: The players are out and about on what looks to be a decent, if not yet scorching, Melbourne morning. I will be flying solo tonight as BBC Sport’s Chris Bevan is somewhere near Eastlands, presumably in a state of some delirium, while BBC Sport’s Caroline Cheese steadfastly refuses to work 24/7 and will not be here until 0630 GMT. This means a) things might be a touch slower tonight and b) I need you tokeep me company through Twitter](http://twitter.com/piersnewbery)or send your **texts to 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide).**2359: Coverage info first and, along with this detailed text-based analysis of events, you can enjoy regular updates on 5 live Up All Night throughout the night, before Andy Murray v Marc Gicquel is the focus from 0800 GMT on BBC Two, online and 5 live sports extra.
2355: Evening all. Day three then - how are we holding up I nearly fell asleep on the Central Line just now but I’m putting it down to nervous tension. We have a big night ahead of us with Elena Baltacha and Katie O’Brien leading the British charge, along with doubles specialists Ross Hutchins, Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski, before Andy Murray takes on Marc Gicquel at 0800 GMT. And if last night is anything to go by, the man you really want to hear about is Ireland’s Louk Sorensen. I’ve had graphics done and everything.
