Aussie Open '08: Women's draw updates
I’m starting this so folks can add updates and their commentary as we head into the final week of the tourney.
The women’s quarters are set. The matches are:
Henin v. Sharapova
Jankovic v. S. Wiliams
Some heavy hitters here. I like Henin and Jankovic to advance.
Ivanovic v. V. Williams
Hantuchova v. Radwanska
Williams is playing well and she should out-muscle the smaller Ivanovic. I’ll take Hantuchova in the ‘who’s that’ matchup.

Jankovic wins
Serena just couldn't hang with Jankovic's accuracy. Serena just looked a step slow.January 22, 2008 - 11:18am

Sharapova over Henin in straights
didn't see that coming. Only took her about 90 min to do it. Sharapova looks very dangerous, obviously.January 22, 2008 - 9:26pm

Ivanovic ends the other Williams' run
Ivanovic topped Venus this evening 7-6, 6-4. Serena was ousted yesterday by Jankovic, so the Williams are going home, the Serbians go on.January 22, 2008 - 9:52pm

Hantuchova moves on

Sharapova first semifinalist
easily over Jankovic 6-3, 6-1. Granted, Jankovic has a bad back, but Sharapova looks primed to win this darn thing. She's really at the top of her game right now.January 24, 2008 - 2:06pm

the finals are set!
Sharapova v. Ivanovic. Sharapova had a relatively easy (or she made it look easy) winning against Jankovic. Ivanovic had a tough semi, losing the first set 6-0, then was down 2-0 in the second. She battle back to win it in three sets. Wow. What intestinal fortitude she showed.January 26, 2008 - 1:44pm

Great match, good win by Sharapova
Ivanovic challenged her, but her will and skills beat back Ana's admirable try. Ivanovic had a chance to win the first set, but Maria came back and took the first set and the second set was easier as she won in two sets. This is her 3rd Grand Slam title and she'll remain at 5th in the world as will Ivanovic at #2 after the tournament. I predict Maria will win another Slam this year, either the US open or Wimbledon and Ivanovic is good enough to make another final or two, not sure if she's going to win one yet, but she should continue to give herself opportunities.Reply
