Dokic Jelena - Henin-Hardenne J 1 4.92 27% (Expekt)

Dokic on pelannut tässä turnauksessa loistavasti ja kaatoi mm. edellisellä kierroksella maailman ykkösen Clistersin joka juuri edellisen kisan finaalissa päihitti Heninin. Henin ilmoitti vetäytyvänsä seuraavan viikon turnauksesta väsymyksen takia ja tuo väsämys olikin nähtävissä jo eilen Petrovaa vastaa jossa Heninin pelin taso ei ollut lähellekkään parasta Heniniä.

Vähä juttua Heninin eilisestä pelistä:

"Henin-Hardenne reached her second final in two weeks with a hard-fought 6-4 6-4 win over Petrova.

The world number two has withdrawn from next week's event in Austria because of fatigue and against Petrova, she was also troubled by inflamed tendons in her right knee.

"For a few days I have felt pain in my knee cap and I have some blisters on my foot as well," she said.

"It is okay, I can play, but it is bothering me sometimes and it is tough but I just tried to do my job today."

Henin-Hardenne was far from her best against Petrova but the Russian was too careless to take advantage.

Both sets featured five breaks of serve as neither player was able to take control, but Henin-Hardenne reserved her best tennis for the crucial moments"
