I backed 2 players at the start of the tournament to keep the interest . They were Mauresmo at 10/1 & Nalbandian @ 40/1 . I hope Nalbandian gives Hewitt a good match , but he has had a lot of court time over the last few days ( 2 x 5 setters ). I guess it all depends how Hewitt recovers from his injury. Hewitts fitness is amazing. Roddick & Safin can't be discounted ( both big servers ).
Result just in : Sharapova def Kuznetsova in 3 sets.
Maria into the semi finals !!
" the crowd roars " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
