On Wednesday, Australian Samantha Stosur showed why she is the top seed but little Melanie Oudin won the crowd’s hearts with her stirring comeback.

Former number ones Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin joined second seed Venus Williams in the third round on Wednesday.

Rezai reached her highest ranking of sixteen prior to the French Open and on the heels of her impressive win at the Madrid Open.
Whatever Jalena Jankovic is eating, the former number one Serb should stick with the diet. There’s a little more bounce in her game and oodles of confidence to go along with her resurgent play.
