Round of 16 Preview

The new world number 1s Australia travel to Stanford with Casey Dellaqcua representing them and they will be hoping she will turn around their Wimbledon dissapointment. Casey faces Venus Williams, under the influence of a new coach so its hard to expect from the US here. Whatever happens it will be a good learning experaince for them though.
*
*
*
Wimbledon Champions Japan enjoyed a huge ranking jump after the Grass season and are on clound nine at the moment. Switzerlands Martina Hingis will be aiming to bring them back down to earth but Mortia will start as the favourite.
*
*
*
Hardcourt specialists Slovakia play eight seeds Belgium in this match. Last time we saw Rybarikova she made the final so she will be looking to capitalise on that win. Kim will have to play well if she dosnt want to be the first seeded casualty.
*
*
*
Great Britain dissapointed in front of their home crowd at Wimbledon but they are back on their preffered surface now and will be hoping to make their mark at the start of the American hardcourt season. They face Germany who will hope to build on a solid Wimbledon showing.
*
*
*
Czech Republic have a point to prove as they are yet to win a title but Klara Zakapalova will aim to change that. She starts her challange for the title against unseeded Maria Sharapova, who will be playing for just the third time under the Uzbekistan flag.
*
*
*
Israel enjoyed a great grass season ending with two finals and a grand slam semi final and Shahar Peer will be hoping for more succes in Stanford. She plays Mary Peirce, the sixth seed from France, who will be looking for a confidence boosting victory as they havnt played since Roland Garros.
*
*
*
Marta Domachoskwa will be hoping she can find some of the form that took her to titles earlier in the year to produce a good run in this Hardcourt tournament. The polish girl will face unseeded Slovenian Andreja Klepac, who is yet to have a real breakthrough on tour.
*
*
*
Chinas carrer seems to hang in the balance this hardcourt season and the world number 3 team are certainly expecting some better tournaments than previous weeks have shown. Na Li hasnt got an easy first round in Wimbledon finalist in Thailiands Tamerine Tansugarn but it will be intresting to see if Tammy can carry her grass form onto another surface.

Peer starts procceding at Stanford with a solid win. She certainly looks to have carried her recent form over from the Grass season and is playing confidently. Mary fought well but couldnt stop Peer from easing through.

Belgium continue to fustrate. Ive told them before what they need to do to improve but they still choose not to and it reflects in their performances. Good win from Magdalena though, and nothing should be taken away from the Slovak.

Solid Win for Marta. She upped her game when it was most important and she books a well deserved place in the Semi Finals. Anderja didnt play to bad at all, but Marta was in good shape today.

Dispite some problems in the second set, Japan certainly look like theyre hoping to continue their great run of form and Ayumi played impressivly to book a place in the Quarter Finals. Martina looked spent after during the third set and the Wimbledon Champions reacted and eased through. Nicely Done.

After an Awful First set the Brits pulled it together and look strong in their first match. Julia looked like she struggled after the first set and could work on leaving some energy for the final two sets. Great fightback from the number 3 seeds though.

Best match of the day with some really high quality play from both. Venus did very well to push the number 1s that hard today and the Americans could be ones to watch in the future. But Casey just snuck the win and books a place in the Quarter Finals. Good win for the Aussie.

Really good, high quality tennis from these two top 5 teams and the Czechs certainly have one of their better days in beating the Chinese. Na looked tired towards the end and Klara stormed passed. Nicely Done by Zakapalova.

Slovakia are the champions! Theyve had a great week, defeating some really big names on the way, and fully deserve the title. Congrats. The Czechs were close but have had a great week too and their Wimbledon trouble should be out of their minds now.

:sobbing: A title! After a billion finals, I finally get it!
