i defiently can see it happening, since clijsters is on the bottom half of the draw with her and is injured and might not play, so im guessing the semis will be Lindsay(as long as shes healthy, which she will be ) vs. amelie, and sharapova vs. venus.
first she has to beat a top player, something she hasn't done yet. if the bottom half of the draw completely crumbles, then she can make it to the 4th round, maybe quarters. i dont see a semi for her
id call dementiva a top player?? shes beat myskina in world team tennis just last summer in the us and well chanda, we dont even know shell make it to the 4th round or qtrs to play maria!
exhibitions dont count in my book. and dementieva with her horrible serve isn't something to jump for joy about because maria is fully capable of punishing really bad serves
Doesn't Myskina have a pretty good record against the other Russians ?
Anyway she'll still have to face Chanda (who has played very well in Oz in the past) and hopefully Conchita/Kim so I don't see her in the semis but if she gets there I will finally buy into all the hype.

Lindsayfran625, I sure hope Lin is able to play for your sake. If she is not able to play try to see it in a positive way that she is trying to take care of herself so that she could have a longer career.
yeah, I agree. She seems to play her ass off in russina vs russina matches. Anyone remember the philly semi (I think) where she broke into tears repeatedly but still managed to ensure that Nadia Petrova didn't win.
its not like im going to be mad at her if she pulls out and is injured! its not her fault, yeah it will be dissapointing but she has to do what she has to do so she can play a full year of tennis

If Kim withdraws/loses early due to injury, then I see either Maria or Anastasia making the semi's.
Probably Anastasia, 'cause she did pretty well on the Slams (except for the FO). I definately can see Nastya going far in this tournament! Like Glenn, the tennis oracle, prophesied
I can see her make a run here thats for sure, and I hope she does. I don't care what anyone says this is a week AO and a great oppertunity for the many darkhorses.
