Iveta Benesova, currently ranked #60, made a surprise entry into the fourth round of the Australian Open today. She has been playing all week, coming up with victories over players ranked higher than her. Her first round opponent was Spanish veteran Anabel Medina Garrigues where she only allowed one game for her opponent. Then, she conceded only four games to last year's quarterfinalist Maria Kirilenko. Then today, she upset 16th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia 63 16 75. In the fourth round, she will meet #2 seed Vera Zvonareva. She's one of the two Czech players to make it into the fourth round of the Australian Open, the other one being Petra Kvitova.
