Jie Zheng (CHN) - Through to semi final

At was Ladies Day at Wimbledon, with the quarter-finals being decided. And with the top 4 seeds
having all been eliminated, it was time for the Williams sisters to make their move.
Both of them had easy straight-sets wins. Serena had the easiest game, taking on 14th seed
Agneiszka Radwanska and taking less than an hour to cruise through 6-0 6-4. Venus conceded an
early break against unseeded Thai Tamarine Tanasugarn but immediately broke back and cruised
home to take the match in straight sets 6-4 6-3.
China's Jie Zheng is unseeded, but made her way through to the semi-finals with a hard-fought 3 set
match over 18th seed Nicole Vaidisova. Zheng started the stronger, breaking Vaidisova's serve twice
in the first set to take it 6-2, but Vaidisova fought back to take the second set 7-5 and force a deciding
set. But again the floodgates opened and Vaidisova's game fell apart, allowing Zheng to breeze
through the third set 6-1.
The remaining quarter final saw Elena Dementieva drop the second set in a tie-break against fellow
Russian Nadia Petrova but recover to take the third set 6-3 and book a semi-final date.
