Kuznetsova, last weeks runner-up in Sydney, and Williams each encountered some difficulty in advancing on Day 4. The second-seeded Kuznetsova defeated Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova 7-6 (7-0), 6-2, but had her back to the wall in the first set. The sturdy Russian faced set point, down 5-3 in the first, but rallied to take the set with a perfect tiebreak. She then eased through the second set in 29 minutes to move on. The eighth-seeded Williams defeated Frances Camille Pin 7-5, 6-4. But, like Kuznetsova, the American faced set point in the first, with the score at 5-4. Williams, however, won the next three games to take the stanza and ultimately ended the match by winning four straight games. Kuznetsova, who has never advanced beyond the quarterfinal round in Melbourne, will face 29th seed Agnieszka Radwanksa of Poland in the next round, while the 2003 Aussie Open runner-up Williams will meet 31st-seeded Inddian Sania Mirza, who beat Switzerlands Timea Bacsinszky 6-1, 4-6, 7-5.
