Semi Final List:

Maria Sharapova RUS (5)
v
Jelena Jankovic SRB (3)

Ana Ivanovic SRB (4)
v
Daniela Hantuchova SVK (9)

 

Go Daniela
She is the hottest woman on the circuit


When is the Federer - Blake match, and when do the semi's begin?

 

Hantuchovas playing really good Rohit.

Shes the dark horse for me.

Ivanovic aswell.

I think Maria has peaked to early.

 

Yes she is.

Well Roger match will start 7.30 Local Time ( 3 Hrs to go ). Curruntly match is running between Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer and David Ferrer leading match by 6-0,5-2.

 

Djokovic is smashing Ferrer. Nearly at match point.

Just like i expected.

Djokovic still won't threaten the Fed Express though Rohit.

 

He won the match by 3 set 6/0, 6/2,7/5.
Yes joy he will be end in Semi. roger is still king of the Tennis.

 

Yeh im still tipping Roger in 3 sets.

Do you think Hantuchova is a good player Rohit?

 

Yes she is and I wouldn't surprised to see Hantuchova as a Australian Open Champions.

 

Did you watched the U.S. open last year, when the Djokovic is lost in the final against Federer?! Djokovic is making some mistakes there, and he was give the match as a gift to Federer in some way, because of some mistakes. But, before that competition, when he was in final with Federer on the match in Montreal (ATP Master Series), he was not make many mistakes, and he was play good, and he was win over the Federer. It is not matter who is trashed Federer, it is a matter that Djokovic last year was in some kind of rise, and he is very young player in the comparison to Federer (Djokovic is 20 years old, I think, and Federer is 26 or 27 years old).

I see in this thread that many think that Federer will play in final, but I think that, if Djokovic do not beat Federer in this semifinal, it will be great match to watch. We will see it in any way.

Also, I have one question. Do you think that the two Serbian women players will meet in final?!

Greetings from Serbia.

 

Here is what Djokovic was say to one press house (after the match with Ferrer): "Players have begin to feel that it is possible to win over Federer also. Of course, nobody is unbeatable. But he was very dominant, especially on fast grounds. He is number one for a long time. Players have begin to play on different way, with more faith that they can win. That is good thing for all of as", was stated Djokovic.

 

Sharapova vs Jankovic is about to start.

I just feel sharapovas mental power should get her through rather comftorably here.

 

Cant wait for Nadal vs Tsonga. Got to hurry get my work done before then

 

Well it should be a good game. Maria Sharapova is close to win the Semi FInal as she won first set by 6-3 and leading second 5-1.

 

Yeh Sharapova is in awesome form. I still think Hantuchova could be a threat to her. but she needs to beat Ivanovic today, and thats going to be hard.

 

She won the match and enter into the final of Women singles.
Daniela Hantuchova won first set so it would likely Maria Sharapova Vs Daniela Hantuchova Final.

 

Yeh Hantuchova is in awesome form. I had this feeling she was really maturing as a player. Good to see.Well deserved, she has had a lot of bad times.

 

I see Djokovic in the finals rather than Federrer. I remember Djokovic playing finals in the Zagreb vs Ljubicic, and after losing match saying "don't worry I'll be no.1 one day!". That's the spirit! He isn't afraid of Roger and I thing he's going to win the semifinals...

Sorry for Jankovic, Sharapova is excellent... Hope for Ivanovic to win... I was glad to see them trashing Williams sisters...

Cheers from Croatia!

 

Yes he is looking good for Tennis future and one day we would see him as champion. He is great person and have good sense of humor.

 

Don't laugh at me, but when he was playing in Zagreb, the crowd was on his side and it is, believe me, very hard to have for Serbian player in Croatia. That showed me that he has really been extra class player! I am sure that dejan_b will agree with this comparison...

 

This year Maria Sharapova may won the womens Title, If she win the Final 2008 is a lucky year to her,
