Sony Ericsson Open: Week so far

In the WTA the first half are still in the second round so there isn't much to say, except for I am amazed Sybille Bammer was ousted in the first round as I thought she would be a difficult opponent. Also congrats to Kateryna Bondarenko!
On the Second half they are in the third round. I had expected Jelena to beat Shuai but I really hoped she could win, though she had a great first match 60 60. Anna Chakvetadze also nearly did that to Vaslisa Bardina but 61 60. Congratulations to both Na Li and Samantha Stosur and to a controversial win by Kim Clijsters 46 60 60 to Akiko Morigami.
I think know that Nadia has a scarce chance of getting to the semis as she scrapped through Nathalie Dechy. Sadly Martina Muller lost out to Virginie Razzano but overall the seeds are intact.
Some new news in, happy that Maria, Martina and Nicole are through but Nicole seems to have slipped a bit taking three sets to beat Michaella. Hope its only a one off. Estactic that Patty Schnyder, Francesca Schiavone and Marion Bartoli are all out and that kaia Kanepi and Julia Vakulenko were amongst the three to beat them. Sadly however Ashley Harkleroad was beaten quite convincingly as well as Jie Zheng and Alona Bondarenko. Three of my favoured players.
On the ATP side yet again the top half are only in the second round but comissaries to Henman, he's never coming back is he after two first round defeats. I'm now crossing my fingers for Venus Williams to beat Maria Kirilenko, though I like Maria I really want Venus to climb back up the rankings, Hope Kateryna can do well against Svetlana, asking for a win will be pushing it but three sets should be Ok. Also hope a safe journey for Ana Ivanovic and Serena Williams both playing Qualifiers.
On the other hand the bottom half has made me really unhappy. Firstly Hewitt withdrew, even though that would make Murray's job all the more easier I still wanted him to compete. Then we have Tursunov my Round 4 hopeful who lost to a Qualifier I have never heard of. To add salt to the wound both James Blake and Marat Safin have lost and not even to anyone particularly strong. I just really hope that Marat Safin will get back to some of his best tennis, he seems to be losing quite often. Also I think James Blake is in some sort of dry spell he seems to be losing quite often too. David Hrbaty has also dropped out leaving only Novak Djokovic. In one of my most favoured eighths already the cast has dwindled. I'm so dissapointed. But the one thing to put a smile to my face is that Marcos Bagdatis is doing very badly nowadays. I'm sorry I just dislike him, no offence!
