Zurich, Switzerland
Jelena Dokic def. Patty Schnyder 6-0 and 6-3

"It will be very tough to beat Patty on this surface" - thats what Kim Clijsters said, after she watched Schnyders 6-2 6-2 win against Amelie Mauresmo. And Kim certainly expected a semifinal against the swissgirl, and commented rather her chances as the chances of Jelena Dokic at the quarterfinal.....

But Jelena Dokic showed the number 1 of the world, showed Amelie Mauresmo, showed a sell out ground and showed to millions of viewers on Eurosport how Patty Schnyder can be not only beaten on this surface. She actually showed how she can get ripped into pieces!

The first point of the match was for the girl from Basel, but only 18 minutes later Jelena had won the first set 6-0, only allowing her opponent 9 more points in that set! After 7 minutes Jelena was up 3-0, and had an opponent who did not really know whats going on, after she could only score 2 single points in the opening three games. Jelenas game was just terrific! She hit winner after winner, she put pressure on Patty who spent most of the match 2 yards behind the baseline, and today even her return game was simply brilliant!

Patty Schnyder, who basically "served" Amelie Mauresmo from court yesterday, scored 15% of the points on her own first serve until she was down 4-0! On the other site Jelena took every risk on both serves, won amazing 91% of all points she had to use her second serve and didnt hit one single double fault in the first set!

Even the commentarys on Eurosport didnt find one point where they could put critics on Jelenas game. Her first set was just: PERFECT!

And set 2 started like set 1. Jelena hold, broke, hold and was up 6-0 and 3-0 after 28 minutes! From then on Jelena slowed a little bit down and allowed the girl from Basel announced herself to the scoreboard but never got into the slightest troubles on her own serves, and won savely 6-0 and 6-3.

Jelena was just the "old" Jelena again! She did not hit the balls more or less unmotivated across or rather into the net, she rather "moved" into every ball, creating this unbelievable power her fans like to see so much, and her opponents used to fear. She hit the corners like she had never lost a match in the past year and her unforced errors werent attempts to play save anymore, but rather misshits as she tried to go for winners.

Remarkable like her performance on court was also Jelenas word she said to Patty after the match as she went to shake hands after only 48 minutes: "Sorry"
