A tired John Isner went down unsurprisingly in straights to talented young Thiemo De Bakker, as that epic match clearly did him in (and the nuttiness that is a no 5th tiebreak rule at the majors).

Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters have fulfilled their blockbuster Round of 16 encounter, as both beat dangerous Russians Nadia Petrova and Maria Kirilenko respectively.

Novak Djokovic is looking sharp today, up two sets and a break on Albert Montanes. Djokovic's countrywoman Jelena Jankovic is also impresseing today, dominating Alona Bondarenko 6-0, 6-3, the third time those players have met each other in a Grand Slam this year.

Still to come on Day 5 is Roger Federer, Venus Williams, and Andy Roddick, with Lleyton Hewitt and Gael Monfils locked in what looks to be a captivating match on Centre court as of this post.

Update: Impressive wins from Federer, Venus, and Lleyton Hewitt today, while Andy Roddick is locked in another battle with Phil Kohlschreiber, though he is up a set and in a tiebreak in the 2nd.
