Ivanovic is the second who quits from the Olympics. In earlier time, Sharapova withdrew due to injury too. For men's singles, Ljubicic also quits. Serbia's another tennis player Jankovic also suffers from knee injury. To Serbia, it really is a big blow. She cried at the news conference.

I heard that a lot of Chinese guys bought the tennis ticket just for the sake of Sharapova. (You know, tennis is not much popular in China).

GUEST5457	Who is gonna be the next? I really hope that no one withdraws from the Olympics. By the way, China's Zheng Jie and Li Na did a good job. Both beat their rivals. However, Chinese men tennis players have been all eliminated. Come on, Zheng Jie, Yan Zi and Li Na. Wish you success at Beijing Olympics.

Chinese female tennis players did a very good job. Zheng Jie and Li Na both have advanced to quarter finals of Women's Singles. But Yan Zi and Pengshuai were eliminated. Zheng Jie is going to fight Safina today. It will be a hard battle for her because Safina has been playing very well in recent days. Li Na might have chance to win because her rival ranks No.47 in the world.

As for Women's Doubles, Peng Shuai and Sun Tiantian (defending champion) were beaten by their rivals. Zheng Jie and Yanzi successfully advance to the next round.

As for Men's Singles, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic both advance to the next round. Nadal beat Hewitt 6/1 and 6/2 yesterday. Today, Federer is going to fight Berdych again. Four year ago, Berdych kicked Federer out of Athen Olympics. Four years later, they meet again. Hope Federer can take revenge successfully.
