Into the quarter finals, and by now the singles matches are all on the main courts, Phillipe Chatrier and
Suzanne Lenglen. And big crowds are on hand, forking out the big Euros to attend.
Top seed Dinara Safina was in deep trouble early against 9th seed Balarus' Victoria Azarenka. With two
breaks of serve before Safina was finally able to hold her serve, Azarenka took out the first set 6-1. But
the second set would be tighter, with only a single service break. But it would go Safina's way in the
10th game, allowing the Russian to level the match with a 6-4 second set. And with Safina back in the
contest, Azarenka was unable to keep up in the third set, which was a comfortable hold for Safina.
Safina's semi-final opponent will be 20th seed Dominika Cibulkova. Maria Sharapova, unseeded and
on the comeback trail from injury, had made it this far but could go no further, blown off the court by
Cibulkova in a one-sided match.
Giant-killing 23rd seed Robin Soderling continued his dream run at Roland Garros. This time it was
10th seed Nikolay Davydenko who was on the receiving end, but the Swede held all the aces in a
one-sided contest that saw Davydenko only able to manage 5 games for the match.
And again there would be no British contender for the French Open, with Andy Murray going down in 4
sets to Chilean Fernando Gonzalez. Murray took the second set to level the match, but Gonzalez lifted a
gear in the third to take the set 6-0, and although the fourth set was more competitive, Gonzalez pulled
off another break of serve to take the match.
