Day three at the Vodafone had Aussie Casey Dellacqua defeat 15th seed Patty Schnyder of Switzerland The early match brought out all the Aussie fans dressed in their flags and funny hats! Their boisterous cheer and chant Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, Oi, Oi, Oi was heard throught the match ! All that support eventually helped Dellacqua beat Schnyder in three sets! Perth's Casey Dellacqua proved that Western Australia produces more than beach bums and surfers!
The second match had a lot less emotion as American Mardy Fish played 11th seed Tommy Robredo of Spain. The fast serving Fish didn't have much problem defeating Robredo in three straight sets!
The third match of the day had last years Aus Open Champion Serena Williams of the USA play Meng Yuan of China
Aussie Casey Dellacqua Wins an Upset !
! During the warm up, it appeared that Serena would have little problem with Yuan. However, a funny thing happend after the warm up, a game broke out! Yuan's good play early in the match frustrated Serena as it lengthened the match time and shortened her shopping in the elite Southbank shops! But the power serving and hitting of Williams was too much for Yuan and Serena won the second set more easily. After the match, rumour had it that Serena was headed straight to the jewellery shops to purchase more "Bling" ! Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, Oi, Oi, Oi !
Cheers, Rick & Elsie!
