Ninth seed Lindsay Davenport was overcome by her
fifth-seeded opponent, Justine Henin-Hardenne, who battled with
cramp to clinch a place in the last eight at the Australian Open.
Both players were slow to find their best form,
and after they each won their opening serves, there was a flurry
of breaks throughout the rest of the first set.
In a titanic match, lasting more than three hours,
Henin-Hardenne claimed her first-ever victory against former Australian
Open champion Davenport.
