Well how sad that Na Li and Amelie Mauresmo had to retire I wonder if they will be fine for the Australian Open, hopefully Na Li will be able to get back because I think if she goes she'll do better than Amelie would. Anyway Justine hasn't had a match yet and she will face Kaia Kanepi, being her first match of the tournament and season. Elena Dementieva was schokingly defeated by Sofia Arvidsson so thinking ahead I would put little hopes on Elena Dementieva coming back to her best form in the near future.
Ana Ivanovic had a scare against Virginie Razzano whilst a player that has amazed me this year is Katarina Srebotnik who seems to be doing quite well so she may be a giantkiller in the Australian Open. As I expected Nadia Petrova lost and I don't think she will get far next week if she enters, I think Nadia's career is in jeopardy so is Elena Dementieva's and Amelie Mauresmo's thinking that most of them had performed their best tennis before their demise. As I expected the tussle against Safina had did enough to tire Daniela Hantuchova, not saying Nicole couldn't have won but she would have an easier task. She would face Jelena Jankovic who I have to say I thought would have a much tougher match against Tatiana Golovin but she is definitely not in her top form so I think I would put this as a fifty fifty match.
It's sad that Na Li couldn't play as everytime Kuznetsova and Li have played its been tough. Well it allowed Marion an easy pass though she was unable to sink Francesca Schiavone. I think Justine will play Ivanovic in the semifinals but Ivanaovic winning hangs only by a thread here because I personally think Katarina Srebotnik is in better form that Virginie Razzano. I'm being risky here but I think Nicole Vaidisova will play Svetlana Kuznetsova in the semis, I just really don't believe Jelena will get to the semis!
