FLUSHING MEADOWS, N.Y. - Four quarterfinal spots have been taken in New York,
leaving four others up for grabs on Monday at the US Open.
Here's a quick glance at the four matches on tap for Day 8 at the USTA
National Tennis Center.
(1) Justine Henin-Hardenne (BEL) vs. (14) Nadia Petrova (RUS)
- Henin-Hardenne Leads 5-0
After four losses to the current world No.1 in 2003, Petrova has been
fortunate to not cross paths with the defending champion at this event so far
this year - until now. Henin-Hardenne has marched past the Russian on every
previous occasion to a 5-0 record. Each player has dropped a set this week
with Henin-Hardenne showing some struggles against Obziler, while Petrova
came back from a set down against No.19 seed Farina Elia.
(9) Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) vs. (27) Mary Pierce (FRA) - First Meeting
Two-time Grand Slam winner Pierce has impressed many this week in Flushing
Meadows - first by dropping just four games in her first two matches and then
by upsetting Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova. But equalling as strong this
week is Kuznetsova, who has produced three straight sets victories. This will
be the first meeting between these two players.
(29) Eleni Daniilidou (GRE) vs. Shinobu Asagoe (JPN) - Daniilidou Leads 2-0
Many believed Anastasia Myskina and Paola Suarez would occupy these spots in
the draw after three rounds of tennis, but three-set survival by Daniilidou
and very solid form by Asagoe has given one of these players a legitimate
shot at their first Grand Slam quarterfinal. Daniilidou has won both previous
meetings, most recently in Auckland back in 2003.
(5) Lindsay Davenport (USA) vs. (11) Venus Williams (USA)
- Series Tied at 12-12
Chapter 25 of the rivalry that looks like a long novel will take place for a
spot in the quarterfinals. At one point, Williams had won nine of 10 from
Davenport, but Lindsay's unstoppable play this summer has produced a victory
in the final at Stanford and a semifinal win against an injured Williams the
following week in Los Angeles. Davenport has a previous semifinal victory
against Williams at the US Open back in 1998, but the last time they met at
this venue was in 2000, when Venus defeated Lindsay in the final for her
first title in Flushing Meadows.
