***********************



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 .



Made an easy clearance against
Shahar Peer .





Francesca Schiavone ,
Will face Venus Williams at the quarter finals .




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 .



Stosur

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 .




Ana Ivanovic , devoured by Kim Clijsters in
less than an hour .


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 .




In the end , when it all comes down to Venus-Schiavone , my money's on Venus .
Clijsters-Stosur , Clijsters definitely .







Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark handles everything the

14th-seeded Russian throws at her in a straight-set win .


Russian Maria Sharapova was dispatched by world number two , Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets of 6-3 , 6-4 .

Being a dominating force all this while , Sharapova failed to conquer world number two Wozniacki here at the Flushing Meadows .




Roger Federer continued his smooth progress through the US Open draw with a
straight-sets win over 13th seed Jurgen Melzer in round four .

The five-time champion was in good form as he eased to a 6-3 , 7-6 ( 7-4 ) , 6-3 victory in the night session .

Federer had some luck in the second set tie-break with two net-cords and had to recover from a break down in the third , but was always in control of the match .

The Swiss will play fifth seed Robin Soderling in the quarter-finals .



*********************


Alright . Tonight we shall witness Venus and Clijsters make-or-break history at the US Open .

Coffee all night long I guess .
