Henin to be tested by Dementieva By Pam Shriver Special to ESPN.com
MELBOURNE, Australia -- The round of 16 is where the experienced players start to pull their game together. Look for Jennifer Capriati to take the top half. Going into the fourth round the trainer said Venus Williams was doing better with her knee. It certainly showed in her 6-0, 6-3 defeat of Magdalena Maleeva. She starting to look like the heavy favorite again, although she has the toughest draw. Martina Hingis has the best draw through the semifinals. This might be the battle of the fittest with the strongest winning this tournament. Last year, that was certainly Capriati.
Fourth-round picks
Amelie Mauresmo (7), France, vs. Marlene Weingartner, Germany
Kim Clijsters (4), Belgium, vs. Janette Husarova, Slovakia
Elena Dementieva (12), Russia vs. Justine Henin (6), Belgium |
