Ana Ivanovic
World Rank: 01
Age: 20
Nationality: Serbia
Ivanovic had a shockingly disappointing second round loss to Frenchwoman Julie Coin. It looks like Ana will be losing her #1 ranking once the Open ends.
Daniela Hantuchova
World Rank: 12
Age: 25
Nationality: Slovakia
Daniela had an equally surprising upset. The 11th seed at the open fell in the first round to German Anna-Lena Groenfeld.
Elena Dementieva
World Rank: 06
Age: 26
Nationality: Russia
Dementieva is blooming late. Now at the ripe age of 26 she has just won Olympic gold and is set to face Jelena Jankovic in the semi-finals of the open. (mistake edited out thanks to tennisany1us) I'll take Dementieva who is riding a huge wave of confidence right now.
Nicole Vaidisova
World Rank: 22
Age: 19
Nationality: Germany
Vaidisova hasn't been on top of her game this year and it showed at the Open. She lost in the second round to Severine Bremond in straight sets 7-5, 6-3.
Alona Bondarenko
World Rank: 31
Age: 23
Nationality: Ukraine
Alona played well in the open but was unlucky enough to run into the steamroller that is Venus Williams. Venus has played brilliantly in the Open even in her close loss to her sister Serena in the quarter final. Btw, Alona lost 6-2, 6-1.
Maria Kirilenko
World Rank: 19
Age: 23
Nationality: Russia
Maria like many of our other featured players in this post hasn't fared too well. She made a quick exit in the first round losing to Tamira Paszek 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.
