After pounding Shahar Peer and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova respectively by Venus Williams and Francesca Schiavone , both Venus and Schiavone are set for a showdown at the quarter finals of the US Open .
Two time champion here at the US Open will battle against this year's reigning champion of the French Open at Flushing Meadows for a spot in the semi-finals where they will meet the winner of a Stosur-Clijsters match-up .
I guess it all comes down to whether Venus can dominate the game as quickly as possible . If she is able to be consistent and throw power serves to Francesca , I'm pretty sure she can quickly push aside the Italian . However , Schiavone has proven to the world that she is GrandSlam material during the French Open 2010 thus , anything can happen . But in the end , just for old times sake , my money's on Venus .
And speaking of which , another thunderous showdown will be going on as defending champion Kim Clijsters will face Samantha Stosur of Australia at the quarter finals here at the US Open .
Sam Stosur , who battled it out all night against Russian star , Elena Dementieva will now have to prove that she is in fact BETTER than Clijsters if she is to advance to the semi finals to meet the winner of the Williams-Schiavone match .
Clijsters on the other hand , she made short work of dispatching of old friend , Ana Ivanovic of Serbia by6-2 , 6-1 in just 59 minutes . Ivanovic had not dropped a set in her first three matches but had no answer to her rival's power , making 28 unforced errors . She clearly looked as if she was given a hard time and she was .
