Overall standings

Bill Walsh still leads, but is he finally cooling off? He came back to the pack by dropping two points (Myskina and Hrbaty). Meanwhile, those in the pursuing group lost nothing today. It's getting tense!

Men's draw

J Stewart adds another point to his lead and is firmly in command!

The key match today was Davydenko's five-set comeback win over Hrbaty. J called that one right while Bill Walsh lost a point with Hrbaty, sending him a point further behind to join Andy Smith and Frederick Warburg three points behing J.

Can J be stopped? It will take some doing now!

Tomorrow's quarterfinals

Fabrice Santoro FRA vs. David Nalbandian ARG (4):
Persistence sometimes pays off. The 33-year-old "Magicien" has finally reached a major quarterfinal after 17 years of trying. Men's draw leader J Stewart was one of only 3 to pick Santoro to reach the last eight. Nalbandian entered the tournament with a tender tummy but now says he feels 100%.
Previous head-to-head: Santoro leads 2-1, most recently a three-setter in Rome last year. This is their first tilt on outdoor hard.

Ivan Ljubicic CRO (7) vs. Marcos Baghdatis CYP:
Baghdatis must try to follow up his big upset of Roddick by playing one of the tour's in-form players. Ljubicic, one of the world's best indoors, wouldn't mind some rain or heat so they close the roof.
Previous head-to-head: Baghdatis won their only prior meeting, right here in Melbourne last year, in four sets.

Women's draw

Gavin Hotchin now stands alone on top! Yesterday's co-leader Bill Walsh lost a point with Myskina and now joins the second place group.

Tomorrow's quarterfinals

Lindsay Davenport USA (1) vs. Justine Henin-Hardenne BEL (8):
Most of us thought the winner of this showdown would reach the final, and More than half of us figured Henin-Hardenne would be the winner. Davenport says she is concerned about an ankle injury she suffered in her win over Kuznetsova.
Previous head-to-head:: A bizarre one! Lindsay won the first 5, but Justine the last 4.

Maria Sharapova RUS (4) vs. Nadia Petrova RUS (6):
Two of the taller members of the Russian brigade vie for a spot in the last four. Only three contestants thought that Nadya would prevent Maria from making a repeat visit to the AO semis.
Previous head-to-head:: Sharapova leads 3-1, including twice at majors last year (Wimby and USO). Petrova won their most recent meeting at the Tour Championships last November.
