Lleyton Hewitt admits he did not get the chance to attack Younes El Aynaoui's weakness.

I hope I didn't give away all the power I have - there are still more matches left.

Midway through the third set I was thinking if there was a flight out tonight or tomorrow.
Andy Roddick reveals a crisis of confidence after fighting back to beat Mikhail Youzhny.

I mean, it's really a great life. It's a perfect life. Right now, I just enjoy staying on the court and playing the tennis.
Rainer Schuettler counts his blessings after beating James Blake in the fourth round.

He fights hard and it's definitely tough to play someone, in a three-out-of-five-set match, who's just going to run down every ball. It's very frustrating.
Understandably Blake was not feeling quite so chipper after the match.

It's definitely very hot out here. It is hard to breathe but I love it, I love the heat.
Serena Williams has no problem coping with the extreme heart affecting Melbourne on Monday.

All the action from the Australian Open
