The Australian Open will press on to Day 3 on Jan. 18, and it will see the start of second-round action in both the men's and women's brackets.

Virtually all of the notables survived the first round in the men's bracket, as players like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray managed to advance without too much trouble.

The same is true in the women's bracket, as notables like Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki and 2011 Australian Open champ Kim Clijsters are still alive.

Men's Storylines

It's always fun whenever Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are both in action, and both will be looking to advance to the third round with as much ease as they did to the second round.

For the American crowd, Mardy Fish's match against Alejandro Falla will be worth watching. Fish looked very strong in the first round against Gilles Muller, living up to his billing as America's top hope in the tournament.

Women's Storylines

You always have to keep your eyes on Caroline Wozniacki. She's still looking for her first Grand Slam victory, and she started the open by making quick work of Anastasia Rodionova.

Kim Clijsters, on the other hand, got out of the gate a little more slowly against Maria Joao Koehler. If she doesn't improve, she could be ripe for an upset against Stephania Foretz Gacon.

Men's Bracket: Full breakdown available at Australian Open's official website.

Women's Bracket: Full breakdown available at Australian Open's official website.
