Men's Quarter Final
Nadal 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 Nieminen

Women's Semi-Finals
Henin 6-4, 7-6 Clijsters
Mauresmo 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 Sharapova

What a fantastic and awesome last Semi-Final I have just seen. Mauresmo was in total control of the match until the 2nd set. She was 3-1 up and 0-40 on Sharapova's serve, but it seems she, again, wasn't 100% mentally focussed. Sharapova fought back, the way only she can do and forced the French into a 3rd set. Two early breakes made the Russian's mission impossible, even though she kept fighting and broke Mauresmo one time back. A fantastic last SF!

Clijsters didn't stand much of a chance again Justine Henin-Hardenne. I think the problem of both Clijsters & Sharapova is that they are not well enough when it comes to volley-play. Henin and Mauresmo are good when they come to the net and score points. And Henin has her weapon, that amazing backhand ...

Women's Final
Mauresmo (1) - Henin (3)
