Sanchez should be able to reach the semi and I would say the final.
Not so sure about Novotna.

This a probably the most interesting match up in R16. Sabatini
still doesn't seem to be in good form.

Sanchez has a pretty even record vs. Maleeva-F. When they played
each other at the 1992 US Open SF, Sanchez won pretty easily (6-2, 6-1).
I would favor Sanchez. Actually, Novotna has a lot of trouble on
Rebound Ace. Except for reaching the final in 1991, Novotna never
got past the 4R at Flinders Park. She also lost a lot of matches
at the Hopman Cup because she has trouble with Rebound Ace.

As far as the top half is concerned, I don't think it is necessary
to state the obvious. But anything can happen in tennis. For me,
it is still too early to talk about the SF and final at this point.

Graf d. Davenport 6-3, 6-2

Sanchez-Vicario d. Maleeva-Fragniere 7-6 first set.

Sabatini-Novotna is a night match

Does anyone know the latest score in the sanchez and sabatini match?
well done date, but will she get pass the ultimate Graf, I don't think so
Graf is forehand is too strong for the little date. However, this is another
boast for tennis development Asia. The Sabatini-nOvtona match, I think Sabatini
will revenge this time, She has showed she has improved by beating Pierce. I
hope. My prediction for the final is Graf-Sabatini. For the men final,it would
be Sampras and Eberg.
