[Miami 4th Round]Henin晉級八強 將對上Sharapova
Justine reaches the quarters
Justine beat Alicia Molik of Australia 6-4 2-6 6-2 and advanced
to the quarterfinals in Miami.
The first set was close, with just one break of serve deciding
the set. Justine served quite well and didn't face a break point.
In the second set however, she was broken twice but came back
strong in the third set to take it 6-2, breaking Molik twice and
not having much problems with her own serve.
This is a very good win, the first over a top 10 since her cameback
but also it's good it was in three sets and Justine had enough stamina
to finish off the match against a tough opponent. This kind of matches
can be particulary tough for Justine because Molik is difficult to
break that that puts pressure on Justine's serve that some times breaks
down, but she showed good physical form, mental toughness and a good
level in her game which is encouraging for the future.
She has a tough assignment in the next round, facing Russian star Maria
Sharapova. Sharapova is currently ranked # 3 in the world and is one of
the hottest players in the tour right now.
Justine has never faced Maria in a regular WTA event, but they did play
in 2003 in the exhibition in Ciney, that Justine won, but of course, that
was only an exhibition, Maria was then a different player and Justine is
- despite her good results so far - coming off a long lay off, so it's
expected to be a difficult match for Justine.
