Fourth Round Part Two Summary



The look on Vika's face says it all really.

Carla Suarez Navarro v Anabel Medina Garrigues

As predicted, Suarez Navarro won through, and it was fairly simple for the proclaimed 'future of women's tennis in Spain'.

Dominika Cibulkova v Elena Dementieva

Cibulkova would have to be playing a perfect game to come anywhere close to beating a player like Dementieva and today she was far too error-prone. The score: 6-2, 6-2 (ouch!)

Jie Zheng v Svetlana Kuznetsova

The match we thought had real promise looked to be over a soon as it had begun. Zheng came out with a strapped hand and Kuznetsova was getting into a rhythm when Zheng fell on her injured hand. Kuznetsova will have to take the 4-1 retirement even though it isn't the best preparation for Serena.

Victoria Azarenka v Serena Williams

Serena chokes through for the third match in a row, thanks to a very ill Azarenka who looked dangerously close to collapsing at some points during the match. For all the Williams fans who think she now has a free ride to the title, bear this in mind: She called a medical timeout as well, she is playing doubles and she has a tough draw. I know I have just made it seem like I hate Serena Williams, which I can assure you, that is not true.

Tonight:

As I am pressed for time, I will give a quick prediction for tonight's matches.

Bartoli v Zvonareva: Zvonareva in three sets

Safina v Dokic: Safina to coast through in straight sets

The predictions weren't wrong yesterday! (The scorelines were)
