Australian Open - ATP 1st Round
Lukasz Kubot d 18 Sam Querrey - 57 62 36 61 86
Florian Mayer d 23 Nikolay Davydenko - 63 46 76(4) 64
Tough: I sure did not expect either of these boys to lose this early.
This is the 3rd consecutive year Sam has been bounced in the 1st round.
He seems to excel in the 250's but the bigger tournies not-so-much. Yet.
8-6 in the 5th has to hurt like hell.
He and Isner might've considered a doubles run...
As for Niko... with Qf points last year that ranking's gonna go south.
And this loss, just weeks after beating (an ill) #1 Rafa in Doha.
As for Kubot remember he made it to the 4th round here in 2010.
And Mayer, in his 8th Aussie Open, was a 3rd rounder last year.

Regina Kulikova d 28 Daniela Hantuchova - 76(3) 36 97
Those are two 3rd set scores that'll sting for awhile. Nuf said.
