Hi everyone. Here's today's second Crisis Center instalment for discussing the matches going on at Melbourne Park. Please keep your comments on-topic until the matches are finished.

Earlier on we saw world number one Jelena Jankovic exit the tournament at the hands of Marion Bartoli, while Vera Zvonareva has scored her first win over Nadia Petrova in nearly five years. We're currently part way through the fourth-round match between Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych. With Berdych having taken the first two sets, even some usually highly balanced TWibe members are frazzling.The comments are flying fast - keep 'em coming.

We still have several matches to go before the tennis day is over. Starting in the past few minutes,  Andy Roddick is playing Tommy Robredo, against whom he has a 9-0 head-to-head record. During the evening session on Rod Laver Arena, Jelena Dokic will play Alisa Kleybanova. Unsurprisingly, the two have never played each other before. Both produced some heroics in their previous-round matches - Dokic against Caroline Wozniacki, and Kleybanova against Ana Ivanovic. Dokic can again expect to have the crowd behind her. Afterwards Marcos Bagdatis will play Novak Djokovic. Their head-to-head stands at 2-0 in Djokovic's favour.
