Men's Storylines

It would be an utter shock if Santiago Giraldo gave Novak Djokovic any trouble, but keep an eye on Andy Murray against Edouard Roger-Vasselin. Murray got off to a rough start against Ryan Harrison in the first round, so he'll be looking for a good bounce-back performance.

Andy Roddick's match against Lleyton Hewitt will also be worth watching. With Mardy Fish out of the picture, Roddick is the highest-ranked American man still standing at the Open. It's going to be interesting to see how long he lasts.

Women's Storylines

Maria Sharapova looked dominant in the first round against Gisela Dulko, and the same is true of Serena Williams against Tamira Paszek. Both of them will look to advance with ease.

Whatever you do, don't sleep on Petra Kvitova. She got off to a slow start against Vera Dushevina in the first round, but then won 12 straight games to take the match in straight sets.

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