ROGERS CUP: Sense and sensibility takes Justine into the QF
19/08/2005:

It's been a topsy-turvy week of tennis in Toronto for the top seeds, and
Thursday was no different; except for Justine. Ana Ivanovic withdrew due to
injury, giving Clijsters a walk-over, and Kuznetsova lost to affable
Argentine Gisela Dulko in two sets. Justine's keen on court tennis sense, and
sensibility toward her health, and fitness has assured her a win over Jie
Zheng 6-2 6-4, and a berth into the quarterfinals.

It's not easy playing someone for the first time, nor being one of the few
remaining seeds left in a tournament. This was the first career meeting
between Justine and charming Jie Zheng from China, who is 164 cm, and one of
the few players smaller than the Belgian. The quality of Justine may have
surprised Zheng, who started out holding serve well with a very nice first
serve at 79% ; but failed to make much of an impact in the first set from
3-2. Justine managed to dominate, and break Zheng constantly despite a lower
percentage of serves than her opponent. A confident, and focused Justine took
the first set 6-2 in 37 minutes.

The second set, again was more of Justine, and her streak of games won tally
was seven. Zheng did get into the match, and created some nice moments
holding serve in a few very easy games. There were nice rally exchanges,
which featured gutsy positive play from Zheng, that only encouraged Justine
at 5-4. Justine at her first matchpoint closed out the second set 6-4.

Final score 6-2 6-4 in 1hr 23 min
