*** TOP HALF ***
1 Serena WIlliams vs 7 Samantha Stosur - H2H: 3-1
Her title in '02 was the 1st leg to her 'Serena Slam' - she wants a real one.
This is Serena's 30th Slam quarterfinal - she is 18-11.
This is Stosur's 2nd Slam Qf - she won her other one last year at RG.
This match has the potential to be a real barn-burner.

4 Jelena Jankovic vs Yaroslava Shvedova - H2H: 2-1
Shvedova is the gal who beat Jankovic at the US Open last summer.
Shvedova is ranked #36 and barely missed being a seeded player.
Jankovic is a 2 time semifinalist at RG. She is still looking for her 1st Slam.
*** BOTTOM HALF ***
3 Caroline Wozniacki (above) vs 17 Francesca Schiavone - H2H: 0-1

This is Fran's 4th Slam Qf - she has yet to win in this round.

5 Elena Dementieva vs 19 Nadia Petrova - H2H: 7-7
Elena has won the last 4 and 6 out of 7 matches played.
