Day 7 (23 January) History was created in the match between Kuznetsova and Schiavone.

At 8–7 in the final set Kuznetsova had three match points, but the Italian saved all three. In the next game Schiavone broke her opponents serve but touched the net after hitting the winner, meaning the point went to Kuznetsova, when holding three break points. Kuznetsova had another three match points in the next game before a run of four games in a row where the serve was broken. Finally after breaking in the previous game and missing three match points Schiavone closed the match out to win 16–14 in the final set.http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/articles/2011-01-23/201101231295784229660.html Schiavone outlasts Kuznetsova in record-breaking duel 23 January 2011 Darren Saligari australianopen.com dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110629150502/http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/articles/2011-01-23/201101231295784229660.html 2011-06-29 Seeds out: Men's Singles: USA Andy Roddick [8], ESP Fernando Verdasco [9], ESP Nicolás Almagro [14] Women's Singles: BLR 1995 Victoria Azarenka [8], RUS Maria Sharapova [14], RUS Svetlana Kuznetsova [23] Schedule of Play Matches on main courtsMatches on Rod Laver Arena Event Winner Loser Score Women's Singles 4th Round DEN Caroline Wozniacki [1] LAT Anastasija Sevastova 6–3, 6–4 Women's Singles 4th Round CHN Li Na [9] BLR 1995 Victoria Azarenka [8] 6–3, 6–3 Men's Singles 4th Round SUI Roger Federer [2] ESP Tommy Robredo 6–3, 3–6, 6–3, 6–2 Women's Singles 4th Round GER Andrea Petkovic [30] RUS Maria Sharapova [14] 6–2, 6–3 Men's Singles 4th Round SUI Stanislas Wawrinka [19] USA Andy Roddick [8] 6–3, 6–4, 6–4Matches on Hisense Arena Event Winner Loser Score Men's Doubles 3rd Round USA Bob Bryan [1] USA Mike Bryan [1] GER Benjamin Becker GER Michael Kohlmann 7–5, 6–2 Men's Singles 4th Round SRB Novak Djokovic [3] ESP Nicolás Almagro [14] 6–3, 6–4, 6–0 Women's Singles 4th Round ITA Francesca Schiavone [6] RUS Svetlana Kuznetsova [23] 6–4, 1–6, 16–14Matches on Margaret Court Arena Event Winner Loser Score Legends' Doubles NED Jacco EltinghNED Paul Haarhuis FRA Guy ForgetSWE Mats Wilander 7–6(7–5), 6–4 Men's Doubles 3rd Round BLR 1995 Max Mirnyi [2]CAN Daniel Nestor [2] AUS Carsten Ball [WC]AUS Chris Guccione [WC] 6–4, 7–5 Men's Singles 4th Round CZE Tomáš Berdych [6] ESP Fernando Verdasco [9] 6–4, 6–2, 6–3 Mixed Doubles 1st Round CZE Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová [8]AUT Oliver Marach [8] CRO Mirjana Lučić [WC] AUS Bernard Tomic [WC] 7–6(7–3), 6–3 Legends' Doubles AUS Todd WoodbridgeAUS Mark Woodforde IRI Mansour BahramiFRA Cédric Pioline 7–5, 7–6(7–3)Coloured background indicates a night match.
