Top 3 women's seeds play today at Open
NEW YORK—Today's slate at the U.S. Open features three women's
quarterfinal matches, two men's quarterfinal matches and a pair of
fourth-round men's matches.
Women's second seed Justine Henin-Hardenne will take on number-ten
Lindsay Davenport before third seed Maria Sharapova battles Tatiana
Golovin. Top seed Amelie Mauresmo has an afternoon match against
number-12 Dinara Safina.
Ninth seed Andy Roddick goes against number-15 Lleyton Hewitt in the
second men's quarterfinal of the day after number-two Rafael Nadal takes
on Mikhail Youzhny.
Top seed Roger Federer plays his fourth round match against Marc Gicquel.
Just one singles match was completed yesterday before play was suspended
by rain. The lone match provided an upset as fourth-seeded Elena
Dementieva was beaten by Jelena Jankovic, 6-2, 6-1 in the quarterfinals.
Jankovic will be playing in her first grand slam semifinal later this
week.
Men's seventh seed Nikolay Davydenko was leading number-17 Andy Murray
6-1, 5-7, 6-3 when their fourth-round match was suspended. Marat Safin
and number-14 Tommy Haas had played just three games in their
fourth-rounder before rain caused their match to be postponed until
today.—Agencies |
