Yaroslava Shvedova

Yari secures POTW following her superb week in Amelia Island and she now has 3 aces to use in Rome

[Barktra]

Aravane will be back from illness that plagued her last week

[Miracle Worker]

Yari is ready to play

[.Andrew.]

AO champ Rezai in qualifying

Tough draw for Dani (even if Masha has no aces), will be happy if I win a round here though LEGGGO.

Round of 16



Hantuchova def. Sharapova(1)
6-4 4-6 6-4

Dani creeping ever closer to seed status Masha is just performing the same trick she did in S5 when she won RG

Round of 16



Hercog(5) def. Cibulkova
7-5 7-5

Polona received perhaps the toughest draw but the defending champion pulled through in style Domi

[The Daviator]

Round of 16



Henin(7) def. Kirilenko
7-6(6) 6-2

The tables turn as Henin overcomes MK on her favourite surface, interestingly it was MK who used the infamous 'hand' to try and steal the first set, bad-ass MK Henin knows cheating when she sees it though, and maintained her composure to win

[The Daviator]

Round of 16



Wozniacki(Q) def. Zvonareva(4)
6-3 6-7(7) 6-3

Won't be long before Caro no longer has to play qualifying if she keeps notching wins like this one Vera needs to improve as there's just a week to go before she defends RG
