World number 1 Justine Henin was a hot favourite to take out this year's Australian Open, but from
the time she took to the court in her quarter-final clash with Maria Sharapova it was clear that it
wasn't her night. The first service game for the night set the tone, with Sharapova getting an early
break; and from there it was all downhill. Sharapova took out the first set, and by then Henin's
resistance had completely gone, with the Russian taking the second-set 6-0 to record a straight-sets
victory.
Also bowing out was defending champion Serena Williams. The American was never in the hunt
against Serbian ace Jelena Jankovic, going down in straight sets. To make a bad day even worse for
Williams, her doubles combination with sister Venus also tasted defeat at the hands of Chinese pair Zi
Yan and Jie Zheng.

Rafael Nadal's relentless march continued, untroubled by Finland's Jarkko Niemenen in straight sets. It
took until the 12th game for Nadal to achieve a break, and take the first set 7-5, but from there it
was one-way traffic with the Spaniard having all the answers to anything Niemenen could ask of him.
Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's giant-killing run continued, this time getting the better of veteran
Russian Mikhail Youzhny. After an even first set, the second set was a blowout with Tsonga taking it
out 6-0. The third set was a tightly-fought affair, with Youzhny taking it to a tie-break and twice
gaining a mini-break before Tsonga regrouped and took out the tie-break and with it the match and
wrapping up a semi-final appearance.
