Federer overpowers Roddick 7-6, 7-6, 6-2 to book a place in the SF.  Federer surprisingly out-aced Roddick 15-14!!!. He will face Davydenko, who is yet to drop a set in this tournament.

The other men's SF will be between Djoko/Moya and Ferrer/Chela.

Venus will seek to avenge her sister's loss to Henin when they meet. She outlasted the second Serbian in her path, Jankovic 4-6, 6-1, 7-6.  Venus holds a 7-1 head to head career record against Henin.

We shall have a Russian in the final as the two other semi-finalists are Russians - Chakvetadze and Kuznetsova.

"I just think she made a lot of lucky shots, and I made a lot of errors."

Three Grand Slam victories over Serena by Henin in a year being fluke? She must be out of her mind.

One Serb down!

Venus crushed Ivanovic 6-4, 6-2 to move into the QF where she'll meet the winner between Jankovic and Bammer.
