Australian Open - Day 3

French Open champion Gaston Gaudio tells just how his victory over Mardy Fish of the US was.

The Argentine wore down Fish 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 to reach the third round.

Gaudio recovered from a slow start to win three tight sets from the Olympic silver medallist and seal victory in three hours.

He broke through for his first Grand Slam title in Paris last year but has never made it beyond the third round in his five previous visits to Melbourne.

Seeded 13, Gaudio will play Dominik Hrbaty in the third round on Friday. The Slovakian beat Serbian qualifier Janko Tipsarevic in four sets.
