Ana Ivanovic & Ernests Gulbis: 2 Seeds Upset on Day 2 of the Australian Open

Australian Open - Women's First Round

Ekaterina Makarova d 19 Ana Ivanovic - 36 64 10-8

The definition of a thriller.

I sure hope Ana can leave this match behind her - it was encouraging.

Despite the loss she's on the right track. Keep going Ana.

Men's First Round

Benjamin Becker d 24 Ernests Gulbis - 76(5) 62 64

For Ernie this was always gonna be a tough match-up.

Ben is a formidable player. Remember, he sent Agassi into retirement.

But at some point Ernie you have to win a match at a Slam.

Hell, even winning a set would be nice.

The last set he won at a Slam was at Wimbledon in 2009.

That's 5 straight 1st round losses - in straight sets.

Um...
