There is a very dangerous darkhorse still lingering in the women's draw. Sabine Lisicki upset Roland Garros champ Svetlana Kuznetsova today to set up a round of 16 match with Caroline Wozniacki, who Lisicki beat in April for the Family Circle Cup title. Lisicki hits the ball very very hard and if she is on it will be tough for anybody to beat her. She is also in a winnable section of the draw with Dinara Safina as the highest, but Safina's hasn't been very good yet this tournament. Lisicki, Oudin, Vesnina, Hantuchova and Schiavone all have reached the fourth round without being seeded.
HEWITT ROLLS
Lleyton Hewitt, the 2002 champion has not dropped a set yet this tournament. He won in three tight sets today against Phillip Petzschner. Hewitt will next take on Radek Stepanek, who prevailed in a thrilling five set match over David Ferrer.
MAURESMO STILL IN
Nobody ever talks about Amelie Mauresmo, but she did win here two years ago and she has been playing steadier and steadier tennis all year. Mauresmo beat Flavia Pennetta, a higher seed than Mauresmo, today in straight sets to set up a potential match with Dinara Safina in the round of 16.
