Australian Open: Hantuchova in the semis.

Daniela Hantuchova (9) from Slovakia has qualified herself to a grand slam semifinal match for the first time in career. She defeated Agnieszka Radwanska in two identical sets of 6-2 and 6-2 to advance.

Hantuchova is now in the 2008 Australian open semis. After losing three times at the quarterfinal stage in grand slam events in her career, Hantuchova is now two wins away from a grand slam title. She will face Ana Ivanovich (4) in the semis.

An anticipated match today will be the quarterfinal match between Roger Federer (1) and James Blake. Roger was tested a few days ago as he had to play a five set match to advance.
