Marion Bartoli, Agnes Szavay lose in Australian Open first round

Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli and Hungarian sensation Agnes Szavay lost in the first round of the Australian Open. I didn't expect these two members of the top 20 to leave Melbourne so early.
No.10 seed Marion Bartoli, France’s best-ranked WTA player, lost to world No.80 Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden 6-7, 6-4, 6-3.
As for Agnes Szavay, the 2008 Australian Open was her first, but no one expected her to say goodbye so early. She started the last year ranked 185th and by the end of it she was in the top 20 with two titles and a quarterfinal appearance at the US Open. Still, the Fila-clad Hungarian, seeded 20th at the Aussie Open, lost to world No.110 Ekaterina Makarova of Russia 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.

Until she showed up on court to play her first round match at the Australian Open we didn’t know for sure which dress Maria Sharapova would be wearing.
Third seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia advanced to the second round of the Australian Open after a long and totally undecided encounter with Austrian prodigy Tamira Paszek.
The Australian Open was run by just four full-time staff members sixteen years ago, while today that number is 140.
