"Personally, I think Ivanovic will take her(Justine Henin) out in the Semi Finals"

No she wont, Francesca beat her to it!

And I couldn't be happier!

At long last Carlos Rodriguez realises it takes more than hypnotism and his protege shouts of 'Allez' to win a tournament.

" Its always worked before" he stated when asked what he thought went wrong today for Justine in her failed attempt to defend her Dubai Championships title.
"Its a shame" he continued "because now it means we're going to probably have to start working on Justine's serve and forehand"
" We've always got by, without a serve you could call a serve, quite successfully, but now I guess in this modern game, to stay at No1, you need to be able to serve, just shows how much the game has changed, I think for the worse, over these last few years!"

I know that hindsite is a great thing but I don't think that Henin can go any further than the quarters. At last people are learning how to beat her!

And Schiavone will play lovely Elena Dementieva

Cracking match between Lovely Lena and Ana

Hooray Elena wins ... 5-7 6-3 6-3
Elena has some of the best groundstrokes in the game - if only she improve her serve and consistency.

Go Elena!

If this was a slam, I'd be supporting Dementieva or Ivanovic. But, since it's just a regular event, I won't Schiavone to win it. Eight times a runner-up, no wins yet. Come on, love.

Bullet,

Schiavone has won a tournament - in Austria last year - it was her first in 8 attempts - still though she could do with another

I haven't seen more pathetic tennis in a long time: Anna's terrible volleying versus Dementieva's robotic , mindless base-line bashing, oh dear!
And thn on top of it all, that horrid, horrid grunting, can someone tell me it was a terrible dream!

Yeah it was terrible. But after some time it became monotonous. Dementieva and her double-faults. It was so damn frustrating. Somehow she won the match but Ivanovic was sluggish. She looked tired as well...Atmosphere was great. Now hoping to go and see men's tennis now

I suspect Svetlana or Jelena will win........JJ certainly impressed with her groundstrokes today - much crisper than in recent months. It would be nice to see Ms Schiavone win a title and she is most certainly in form
