Australian Open 2011 Day 5 Justine Henin and Venus Williams beaten

3rd round selected results

Caroline Wozniacki (1) beat Dominika Cibulkova (29) 6-4 6-3
Svetlana Kuznetsova (2) beat Justine Henin (11) 6-4 7-6 (10-8)
Andrea Petkovic (30) beat Venus Williams (4) 1-0 Ret.
Maria Sharapova (14) beat Julia Goerges 4-6 6-4 6-4
Francesca Schiavone (6) beat Monica Niculescu 6-0 7-6 (7-2)

The results on day 5 certainly opened up the top half of the draw. With Svetlana Kuznetsova beating Justine Henin, although I think in the end Justine beat herself. Svetlana's ten points to win the tie break consisted of one or two winners and 8 unforced errors by Justine.

What were the crowd thinking of my booing Venus when she could not continue. At least she came out and tried.
