Watch live video from Movies and Basketball LIVE! on Justin.tv
Wonderful win for Kim Clijsters. The key moment in this match was in the third set, at 1-1 on Venus's serve. Despite Clijsters stopping the seven game streak Venus was on by holding in the previous game, Venus still had the momentum in the match. She was up 30-0 in this crucial third game of the third set, only to give it away with a double fault costing her at 30-40.
Venus could never come back from that break, and all credit to Clijsters holding strong on her serve, especially in that final game of the match. 15-40 was Venus in that game, only for Clijsters to really dictate play and get her biggest win coming back from her two and a half year layoff.
Na Li of China is next in the quarterfinals. But boy, that sure felt like a Grand Slam final, even with those lopsided, contrasting like no other, first two sets.
Updated: Tsonga and Del Potro are through. The bottom half of the men's draw is indeed a tough one.
