At the (AO) Open:Day Three:
Sometimes we forget how brutal the conditions are since it looks the same on TV.

''I kept waking up in the middle of the night last night, just paranoid,'' Williams, who regularly trains in the Florida heat, said after dropping only three games for the second straight match.
''I just wanted to stay hydrated,'' Williams said. ''The last thing I want to do is to cramp in this weather. It can happen so easy.''
If the forecast of four consecutive days of 40-plus degrees Celsius (104-plus degrees Fahrenheit) temperatures in Melbourne proves correct, it will be the worst heat wave in the city in more than a century.

Eugenie Bouchard ousted Virginie Razzano 6-2, 7-6 (10) and then was serenaded with O Canada.
Must-see video
Jerzy Janowicz fought through his foot injury to beat Pablo Andujar 4-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5), 6-3, in front of a small pack of very rowdy Polish fans. His celebration was awesome.
