As I write this it's just after noon East Coast time, which is 4AM in Melbourne. Lleyton Hewitt and Marcus Baghdatis have been playing their third round match for over 4 hours now and are on serve in the 5th set. Baghdatis has looked dead in the water several times already, rolling his ankle in the 2nd set and going down 1-5 in the 4th. He stormed back to force a 5th, ensuring that this will be the latest finish ever for a Grand Slam match (the previous record was 3:34 AM in last year's Australian Open).
Amazingly, the stands are still relatively full. Hewitt and Baghdatis both have crazy fan bases, and they haven't stopped yelling and cheering since the match started. It doesn't hurt that they never stop selling beer at the Australian Open.
ESPN2 keeps showing shots of Hewitt's sister Jaslyn, who looks pretty good sitting in the stands. I went to find a picture of her and came up with this:
Yikes. Believe it or not, she's only 24.
Update: Hewitt won the match 6-3 in the 5th.

That picture is frightening, but she looked great in the stands.
Can you imagine meeting a girl that looks like she does in the stands, getting her home, and then she flexes like that? EESSH.
Great match!
Wow I don't believe that it is a same person as on the stands.
Match was great, but Federer Tipsarevic was match of the tournament
I prefer Hewitt v. Baghdatis because Federer was so sloppy early in the match.
It's her guys. Check out this youtube of her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oav_mf7xEos
