Roger Federer's Australian Open campaign has had its share of dramas in 2008. A virus before
the tournament prevented him from playing any lead-up matches; while a 5-set Saturday
marathon against Janko Tipsarevic showed that Federer wouldn't have everything his own way.
And that would again be the way in his quarter final - although Federer would win in straight
sets, James Blake frequently threatened to have him in trouble. The break of service in the first
set wouldn't come until 5-5, and the second was taken to a tie-break. But Blake was unable to
last the distance after the disappointment of losing both those sets, with Federer closing out
the third 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals.
It was a far easier ride for Novak Djokovic. The Serbian number 3 seed has yet to drop a set in
the 2008 Open campaign, and his opponent, David Ferrer, was never in the contest as Djokovic
cruised to a 6-0 6-3 7-5 win.

The Williams challenge at this year's Open ended in the quarter finals. Serena had gone down
already, and now it was Venus' turn to taste defeat when she was knocked off 7-6 6-4 by Ana
Ivanovic. Daniela Hantuchova ended the run of 29th seed Agnieszka Radwanska with a
comfortable straight-sets win.

A shock in the mens' doubles, with number 1 seeds Bob and Mike Bryan going down to India's
Mahesh Bhupathi and Bahamas' Mark Knowles.
