Venus dumped

Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams was dumped fro m the Australian
"But I feel very comfortable here and I'm very happy with the victory."
Joining him in the next round was Britain's fourth seed Murray, who wasted little energy in disposing of Spain's Marcel Granollers 6-4,6-2,6-2.
"I've been playing really
well for the last six or seven months and it's probably the best I have felt coming into a Grand Slam," said the Scot, adding that he was confident he could go "deep" into the tournament.
Serena, who next plays

Open on Thursday but it was a different story for Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray who barged into the third round.
Venus lost the plot against Spain's unseeded Carla Suarez Navarro, crashing 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 for the upset of the tournament so far and continuing her unhappy association with the event which she has never
won.
Her sister Serena lived to fight another day, but she too struggled.
The three-time champion needed to mount a second-set recovery after Gisela Dulko took a 5-2 lead. The American finally woke up to reel off five games in a row and tame the Argentinean 6-3,7-5.
"When you go out on court you have got to expect anything," said Venus, the sixth seed.
"I'm not surprised at how well she played. I haven't quite figured out the areas of my game that went wrong, but I have to credit her."
In hot and blustery conditions, Nadal crushed Roko Karanusic of Croatia 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 to stay on track for his first hardcourt Grand Slam title.
The world number one wrapped up his one-sided match in 97 minutes to set up a clash with 79th-ranked German Tommy Haas.
"He played aggressively, it's not easy to play against someone who plays inside the court and hits big shots with the forehand," Nadal said.
