Justine Henin (BEL) - Through to Semi Final
Jie Zheng (CHN) - Through to Semi Final

It was a day of mixed fortunes for the Williams sisters on Day 10. First up was Venus,
taking on 16th seed Na Li. Everything looked to be going to plan when Williams won the
first set 6-2, but Li proved to be a tougher nut to crack in the second set. Williams' serve
was powerful as normal, but she found herself unable to break Li's serve as the set would
go the distance. And against all expectations, Li won the tie-break to force the match to a
deciding set. And the Chinese number 16 seed took out the final set 7-5 to progress
through to the semi final.
But it was better news for Serena, although she found herself in trouble early when she
took on Victoria Azarenka. Conceding an early service break, Williams dropped the first set
and the second set would go the distance but eventually she would prevail before lifting in
the final set to book herself a semi-final clash against Li.
Roger Federer was in trouble early against Nikolay Davydenko, the Russian breaking twice
in the first set to take it 6-2 and then an early break in the second set. But suddenly the
momentum of the match changed, with Federer winning 12 games in a row to turn a 1 set
deficit into a 1 set lead. And although the fourth set was closer, the Swiss top seed pulled
off another break at the business end of the set to progress to the semi final.
And the semi final will be a repeat of the 2008 final, with Federer's opponent being Jo-
Wilfried Tsonga. The Frenchman overcame Novak Djokovic after an epic 5-set encounter.
After each player won a tie-break set, Djokovic took the initiative in the third to blast
through 6-1. But when it appeared the Serbian third seed looked headed for a win, Tsonga
managed somehow to quickly reverse his fortunes with easy wins in the 4th and 5th sets.
