When Day 11 was over, the top 2 seeds had been eliminated from both the mens and womens draws. The womens
finallists had been decided, and Novak Djokovic was through to his second Australian Open final.
The first womens semi final saw second seed Vera Zvonareva take on third seed Kim Clijsters. And with a break in
each set, Clijsters made her way into the finals in straight sets; and her dream of winning an Australian Open title
remains alive.
Clijsters' opponent in the final will be Li Na. For the second year in a row, Na made it to the semi finals; and this time
she went one better to make it through to the final. It wasn't looking likely early, when Na was broken in the opening
game of the match and went on to drop the first set to top seed Caroline Wozniacki. And it took until the 12th game of
the second set for a serve to be broken; and it was Na who achieved the break to level the match. And Na went on to
take the match, the first Chinese player to qualify for the final of a Grand Slam tournament.
The evening session saw the first semi final, with Roger Federer taking on Novak Djokovic. Federer, the defending
champion, broke Djokovic early and was looking in control. But the Swiss second seed failed to serve out the set, and
it went to a tie-break; which Djokovic took out.
Djokovic went on to take the second and third sets, eliminating Federer from the title. For the first time since 2003,
Federer now will not be the defending champion in any of the grand slam tournaments.
