1. Many happy returns for Grand Slam specialist Martic
That’s how you celebrate your 27th birthday: by going further than ever before at a Grand Slam. Petra Martic is into the second week of a major for the first time after surviving a spirited battle with Thai qualifier Luksika Kumkhum on Rod Laver Arena to set up a fourth-round showdown with Elise Mertens for a place in the quarterfinals – and given her Grand Slam prowess in the past year, who would bet against her?

You see, Martic is emerging as something of a Grand Slam specialist. The Croatian is currently contesting her fourth major since a career-threatening back injury kept her out of the game for 10 months, and it’s fair to say things have gone well on the sport’s grandest stages. Martic has a 9-3 win-loss record at the majors since her return – 15-3 if you include her qualifying runs at Roland Garros and Wimbledon – and she has reached the fourth round on three occasions, only missing out on a main-draw win at the US Open.

čiliću čiliću...5:2, tri set lopte, protivnik na kolenima...i ode set...neverovatno...

čilić lagano dobio drugi set, a u trećem busta dva puta imao break prednosti...čilkan pokazao, uostalom kao što uvek i radi, veliku psihičku stabilnost i mentalnu superiornost ...tiebreak dobio sa nulom...
2:1 za marina, idemo u četvrti set

pa gde si fićo...nema te ko lasice69...
