man on women's sports

Justine Henin-Hardenne defeated Lindsey Davenport. Maria Sharapova (right) ended Tatiana Golovin's best majors run 7-6(7-4) 7-6(7-0), reflecting more Sharapova's determination in this event than Tatiana's play. Sharapova will meet Mauresmo in the semis, and I suspect Mauresmo will have her hands full: if Mauresmo wins, it will be in one long match. Henin-Hardenne will face yesterday's winner, Jelena Jankovic.

Speaking of yesterday, the Chinese team of Zi Yan and Jie Zheng, the No. 2 seed, lost to No. 6 seeded Kveta Peschke and Francesca Schiavone who also defeated Sania Mirza and Liezel Huber. Women's doubles quarter-finals matches are the major fare for day 11. Below from left: Zi Yan, Jie Zheng, Francesca Schiavone and Kveta Peschke
