Justine Henin-Hardene might be a chance.

If anyone can beat the Williams sisters, she can.

Daniela Hantuchova def. Adriana Serra Zanetti 7/6 6/4

Leander Paes ( former doubles no.1 ) is returning to tennis after suffering brain lesion with Aus open by teaming up with Navrtilova in MxD

If anyone can beat the Williams sisters, she can.

Since only one of them is playing now, i expect either of Davenport or Clijsters to beat her if the injuries don't interfere.

Hewitt, Scud, Reid,authurs, Stosur, Molik and Pratt all through

Hewitt, scud, reid and Stosur all particularly impressive.

Todd reid involved in a marathon 5 setter vs Sargisian with Reid up 4-3 in the 5th (reids 1st 5 setter)

Rafeel Nadal is a great talent.

Saw him play in the entire tournment in Auckland and is wonderful to watch and has all the shots.
