While we await the winner of the Marat Safin match - which included another of his notoriously typical outbursts at the official - we'll bring you Ana Ivanovic's comments from much earlier today.
Here's the most amusing comment she made. Asked to gauge her level of frustrating during a near-colossal first-round loss, the top-seeded women's player didn't blink an eye. "I'm very, very happy just to be here and to have the opportunity to play, because after the Olympics it was obviously very disappointing," she said.
Uh, how about the frustration, Ana? You are the top-seeded player, and thus expected to breeze through this match. And you did come dangerously close to losing...
The last game I had a couple of miss-hits, and I just tried to stay strong and to play actually for each point and to forget what happened," she said. "I'm so happy I managed to do that."
Probably relieved, too, even if she wouldn't admit it.
