For the first time since 1988, an Australian was in the quarter finals of the womens singles; and
surprisingly as red-hot favourite. Samantha Stosur, seeded 30 and in top form, was matched against
undeeded Romanian Sorana Cirstea, who had come from relative obscurity to make her way deep into
the second week of the tournament. But this was as far as Cirstea's run would go, as Stosur dominated
from the start, breaking Cirstea's serve to love in the opening game of the match and going on to take the
set 6-1. The second set was slightly closer, but not much, with Stosur breezing through 6-3 to move
through to the semi finals.
Stosur's semi-final opponent will be Svetlana Kuznetsova, after the Russian defeated Serena Williams in
3 sets.Kuznetsova took the first set in a tie-break before Williams fought back to take the second set. But
the all-important break of serve in the third set went Kuznetsova's way to take her to 6-5, and despite a
nervous final game that went to multiple deuces, Kuznetsova finally served out the game to take the
match. And as the only player remaining in the womens' draw to have previously won a grand slam
tournament, she will have high hopes of adding more silverware to her collection.
In the mens draw, Roger Federer was too good for Gael Monfils. After being taken to a tiebreak in the first
set, Federer lifted his intensity in the second set and cruised to a straight-sets victory. Also going through
in straight sets was Juan Martin Del Potro, who was far too classy for Tommy Robredo.
