Maria Sharapova demolishes Justine Henin
Maria Sharapova ended Justine Henin's 32-match winning run to advance to the Australian Open semifinals for the fourth straight year. In one of the most consistent performances of her career, fifth-seeded Sharapova thrashed the world number one 6-4 6-0.
Henin, who suffered her last 6-0 rout back in 2002, hasn't been playing her best tennis in Melbourne and her shaky performance enabled powerful Sharapova to finish the match with such an impressive score. I'm sure the final result surprised everyone!

Top seed Justine Henin had no trouble with Su-Wei Hsieh of Taipei, beating the world number 158, 6-2 6-2 to advance to the Australian Open quarterfinals. Her opponent will be Maria Sharapova who also quickly finished her fourth round match as she lost only two games to fellow Russian Elena Dementieva.
Top seed Justine Henin of Belgium reached the last 16 of the Australian Open on Friday with a hard-fought 7-5 6-4 win over seed No.25 Francesca Schiavone of Italy.

Justine Henin has added the 2007 United States Sports Academy Female Athlete of the Year award to her already impressive list of achievements. It's the first time Justine has won this very popular American sports award.
