The first week is over, and the top seed Ana Ivanovic and the 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova crashed out early, Ivanovic in the third round and Sharapova in the second round. But No. 2 seed Jelena Jankovic survived her last match of the week and is into the second week, not for the first time.The seeds involved in the fourth round on the top half are former US Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova, two-time champion Serena Williams, Russian Anna Chakvetadze, Polish Agnieszka Radwanska, Hungarian Agnes Szavay, and Czech Nicole Vaidisova. In the bottom half there is four-time champion Venus Williams, surviver Jelena Jankovic, former French Open and US Open finalist Elena Dementieva, last year's Australian Open quarterfinalist Shahar Peer, and former French Open semifinalist Nadia Petrova.
The unseeded players in the top half are wildcard Jie Zheng, who knocked out the top seeded Ana Ivanovic, and American Bethanie Mattek. The unseeded players in the bottom half are Russian Alisa Kleybanova, Thai Tamarine Tanasugarn, and another Russian, Alla Kudryavtseva, who won to Maria Sharapova in the second.
On Monday, all the players will play, and the ones who win will advance to the quarterfinals of the third Grand Slam of the year.
Good luck to all the players.
