1. Fabiola Zuluaga -- Australian Open
   Zuluaga arrived for the Australian Open ranked 36th and without major ambitions. But Tuesday she advanced to the semifinals when Amelie Mauresmo pulled out shortly before the match because of a back injury.
2. Nicolas Kiefer -- Australian Open
   Kiefer has captured six singles titles and three doubles titles in his 11-year career. He reached the 2006 semifinal at the Australian Open (losing to eventual champion Roger Federer) and has made quarterfinal appearances at Wimbledon in 1997, the Australian Open in 1998, and both the Australian Open and US Open in 2000.
3. Amanda Coetzer -- Australian Open
   Coetzer reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2001, her first last eight in a Grand Slam event since the 1998 US Open. In a dramatic match against Williams she eventually succumbed 8-6 in the third set of a closely contested tie. In February she won her eighth WTA title, defeating world number 10 Elena Dementieva in Acapulco. At Amelia Island she reached the finals where she lost to Amelie Mauresmo. In Hamburg she made the final four, and the following week she recorded her five-hundredth career win, defeating Meghann Shaughnessy, who had beaten her the week before. In Luxembourg she reached the semi-finals and then won her first doubles title in four years with Lori McNeil in Oklahoma City.
4. Yevgeny Kafelnikov -- Australian Open
   NEW YORK -- Sometimes Yevgeny Kafelnikov shows up for his tennis match, sometimes he doesn't. That may be fine for some of those obscure Far East events where a six-figure guarantee is quietly exchanged for a first-round loss, but this was the U.S. Open semifinals.
5. Jennifer Capriati -- Australian Open
   Jennifer Capriati is no stranger to saving match points. The world No. 1 saved four of them against Martina Hingis in the roasting heat to defend her Australian Open title in January, and saved two more while winning 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 in a midnight duel with Monica Seles amid a million sand flies here yesterday.
6. Lindsay Davenport -- Australian Open
   Lindsay Davenport rallied to defeat Anna Chakvetadze 7-6 (4), 3-6, 7-5 Wednesday at the China Open. Davenport, who lost her serve seven times in the match, was helped by her opponent's 13 double faults. She will face Zheng Jie in the next round. ``Zheng is a good player and a top player in China,'' Davenport said.
7. Serena Williams -- Australian Open
   Serena Williams is primarily an offensive baseline player. Her game is built around taking immediate control of rally's with her powerful serve, aggressive return of serve and powerful groundstrokes. Serena's serve is one of the best in the women's game. She often serves the ball at over 120 mph in her matches. In addition to the power she is capable of on her serve, Serena ... has great placement and variety when serving. At the 2007 Australian Open she achieved 64 aces, the most of any woman in the tournament.
8. Iroda Tulyaganova -- Australian Open
   Tulyaganova, 20, is one of the rising young stars on Tour. She has won three singles and three doubles titles, including two of each last year when she improved more than 50 spots to move into the top 20 in singles. This year, she reached the singles final at Vienna and the third round at both the Australian Open and French Open. Last week, she was a doubles semifinalist at San Diego with Paola Suarez.
9. Craig Parry -- Australian Open
   Craig Parry shot a -5 (66) to join fellow Australian and overnight leader, Robert Allenby at the top of the leaderboard at the 2002 NEC Invitational. Parry and Allenby, who birdied the final hole for an even-par round of 71, share the lead at -10, one shot ahead of Fred Funk. Funk appears to have maintained his solid form from last week's US PGA with today's 68 being his third in row at the tournament.
10. Ashley Harkleroad -- Australian Open
    Harkleroad played her first main tour event since 2005 at Auckland, successfully qualifying for the main draw only to fall in the opening round. She failed to qualify at Sydney before reaching the second round of the Australian Open (as a qualifier) where she pushed world number 4 Maria Sharapova in a tough match. On her way she upset a higher ranked opponent- Shuai Peng of China. This performance saw Harkleroad break back into the top 100 at number 83. As of October 23, 2006, Harkleroad is ranked in the WTA at #91 in Singles and #87 in Race-Singles; she is ... ranked #57 in Doubles.
