Today's highlighted match was expected to be a repeat of the 2005 French Open final: Mary Pierce versus Justine Henin-Hardenne. Except this time the result was different: a straight-set victory by Mary Pierce 6-3, 6-4. Mary blasted off the first 4 games of the match--she couldn't miss.
During the day was a very good looking men's match. Both James Blake and Tommy Robredo are two of the most handsome players on the tour. They have similar styles: big forehands, good serves and amazing mobility and speed around the court. However, in the end Blake won 4-6, 7-5, 6-2,6-3. He plays Agassi on Wednesday in his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.
On the women's side the quarterfinals are set: Davenport vs Dementieva, Mauresmo vs Pierce, Sharapova vs Petrova and Venus Williams vs Clijsters.
Of the 8 quarterfinalists, I predicted 7 of them (Dementieva is the only surprise). The semi-finals will be Davenports vs Mauresmo and Sharpova vs Clijsters. I'm not ready to call it yet, but I think it might be a Clijsters vs Davenport final. I'll say more after Day 9.
