10.10 — LLEYTON BLEW IT

LLEYTON Hewitt's stunning exit from the Australian Open is sure to raise questions about whether this was his final appearance at Melbourne Park.

The Aussie champ was absolutely cruising after two sets against Benjamin Becker, leading 6-2 6-1 and on track for an early night.

But the game turned drastically from that point as Becker limited his errors to post a 2-6 1-6 6-3 6-4 6-2 victory.

It's only the second time Becker has made it to the third round of a grand slam in his career and the first since 2006.

That year Becker made it to the fourth round of the US Open — where he knocked out Andre Agassi and ended his career.

Before tonight Hewitt had a record of 15-0 at Melbourne Park when winning the first two sets.

8.55pm — AZARENKA MOVES ON

VICTORIA Azarenka has eliminated eighth seed Caroline Wozniacki and is starting to look like a real chance of making it to at least the quarter finals.

The Belarussian is unseeded as she makes her way back from injury but having won this tournament twice (2012, 2013) will like her chances of at least making it to the final eight — where she's likely to meet Serena Williams.

Azarenka won 6-4 6-2 against Wozniacki in a game that was tighter than the scoreline suggested.

There was an upset in the men's draw tonight when Jerzy Janowicz knocked out 17th seed Gael Monfils 6-5 1-6 6-7 6-3 6-3.

7.20pm — BECKER A GRAND SLAM FLOP

BENJAMIN Becker has won almost $3.5 million in prizemoney during a 10-year career on the ATP Tour and been ranked as high as 35.

But in a startling indication of his inability to shine on the big stage, the current world No. 41 has only ever made it past the second round of a grand slam once.

That came all the way back in 2006, when Becker made it to the fourth round of the US Open in his second appearance at a grand slam.

Since then it's been all first and second round exits, a statistic which should give Aussie Lleyton Hewitt huge confidence as they battle for a spot in the third round of the Australian Open tonight.

7pm — ANDY MURRAY'S WHINEY TWEET

NOT everyone was impressed by Rafael Nadal's inspiring Australian Open performance last night.

Just ask Andy Murray.

Nadal battled illness and cramp as he came back from the brink to defeat America's Tim Smyczek in five sets.

Murray, a comfortable straight sets winner over Australia's Marinko Matosevic yesterday, took to Twitter this morning to play down Nadal's performance — or at least to complain about the different coverage the Spaniard has received in the press compared to when he also battled cramp to win at the US Open last year.

Have a cry, mate...

6.50pm — SPECIAL K'S FALL IN DOUBLES

NICK Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis couldn't deliver the same magic they've provided in the singles when combining in the doubles this evening.

The pair dubbed the Special K's lost in three sets to more experienced duo Andrey Golubev and Denis Istomin 3-6 6-2 2-6.

It was a typically entertaining performance from Kyrgios. He produced a miracle between-the-legs shot to win a point early in the match but was also warned for misconduct.

5.30pm — TOMORROW'S SCHEDULE RELEASED

CASEY Dellacqua has been knocked out in the second round by rising US star Madison Keys.

The Aussie, who made it to the fourth round of the Australian Open last year, looked on track for victory while winning the first set 6-2.

But the momentum of the game swung significantly from that point — Keys winning the final two sets 6-1 6-1.

At 19 years of age the American has matched her best result at a Grand Slam and looks to be a player of the future.

Dellacqua's exit leaves Sam Stosur as the last Australian woman in the draw. She faces American Coco Vandeweghe tonight.

Australia's Casey Dellacqua has been knocked out of the Australian Open by American up-and-comer Madison Keys in three sets.

VENUS Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska have both sailed into the third round of the Australian Open in straight sets.

Sixth seed Radwanska needed only 44 minutes to dismiss Johanna Larsson 6-0 6-1 on Rod Laver Arena, setting up a clash with either Varvara Lepchenko or adopted Australian Ajla Tomljanovic.

Williams was not quite as ruthless in her all-American outing against Lauren Davis, but still a comfortable 6-2 6-3 winner on Margaret Court Arena.
