0035: Henin holds with ease for 4-2 and Petrova needs to get a grip of this or it could be over quickly. Out on Court 5, Britain’s Oliver Golding leads Sam Barry of Ireland 5-1.0031: After a couple of Petrova double-faults, Henin climbs all over a service return at 30-30 and follows it into the net to put away a volley. It’s break point and… another double-fault. The Belgian leads 3-2 with a break. What is it with everyone’s serving at the moment0027: Henin holds for 2-2, and this match is yet to catch fire. There appear to be numerous people who are going to bed in order to be ‘fresh’ for the morning. I can’t say I’m not disappointed, even a little hurt.
0023: "I hope you don’t mind me missing out on your live text by catching up on some sleep before Murray beats Nadal in 4 sets this morning Thanks Piers, you’re a gent! "

0017: Henin holds to love for 1-1, slicing one ace out wide along the way. Out on Court 5 we have Britain’s Oliver Golding against Sam Barry of Ireland in the boys’ singles, with Laura Robson up against Yulia Putintseva in the third match on Court 3.0013: Petrova serves first, and holds from deuce… Henin carries a 12-2 head-to-head record into the match andshe beat the Russian in Brisbane earlier this monthin her first match back after retirement. However, Petrova stunned pretty much everyone bythrashing Kim Clisters 6-0 6-1 in the third roundin Melbourne and followed that up withvictory over third seed Svetlana Kuznetsova.
0009: Deliberately thrown my sleep pattern out of sync by sleeping all day and just getting up now. Sitting here with my cereal looking forward to a great day/ night of tennis!"

0007: So first up is the best backhand in tennis history. Fact. Well, alright then, it’s subjective but it’s certainly my favourite and I’m in charge, right It might not be enough for Henin today though, as Petrova looks in the mood to shed the ‘underachiever’ tag after beating Clijsters and Kuznetsova in her last two matches. That means you’re very good. They’re not hanging around today, with Henin and Petrova already getting stuck into their knock-up on Rod Laver Arena.
0003: As is now traditional four times a year, I have spent the day fielding texts, tweets and emails from people with a sudden interest in tennis. I wouldn’t mind but I was trying to sleep. Anyway, we know the drill here - Andy Murray v Rafael Nadal will be live on BBC Two, the website and 5 live sports extra from **0830 GMT.**0000: Some might say that the next few hours are a mere appetiser for what is to follow, but some would be wrong. In fact, who do some think they are We’re about to see if Justine Henin can continue her bid for a comeback Grand Slam title when she takes on the extremely in-form Nadia Petrova, followed by, er, Jie Zheng v Maria Kirilenko, and then a rejuvenated Andy Roddick against man-on-the-verge Marin Ciilic. And there’s Laura Robson in round two of the girls’ singles too. Flippin’ some.2356: Evening chaps. Look sharp, there’s a bit of a ‘do’ going on tomorrow morning and we need to get in the mood. It’s still eight hours until Andy Murray takes on Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, I suggest we huddle together and make the best of itThis article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
