Australian Open - Women's Quarterfinal
1 Caroline Wozniacki d 6 Francesca Schiavone - 36 63 63
For a moment there it looked like Fran was gonna do the improbable.
She was up a set & a break - then she ran into that mean bitch: exhaustion.
The scoreline doesn't really reflect the effort Fran put into this thing.
Her fight was inspiring.

As for Caro, the win secures her #1 ranking no matter who takes the title.
She's still seeking a maiden Slam - which many feel will justify her ranking.
Caro advances to her 3rd Slam Sf: 1-1.
Advancing to her 2nd Slam final won't be easy - as she faces inform Li Na.
And she'll need to steer clear of those pesky kangaroos.
Caro on being down: Well, I don't mind playing three setters in general.
I feel in good shape, and I can keep playing out there.
So I was just thinking just try to stay in the match. She still hasn't won it.
When I went to the third set, I was really pumped and
ready to go out there and fight until the last ball.
