Henin-Serena will highlight Tuesday's women's QFs in Paris

Tennis Betting Lines

06/04/2007 - Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The women's quarterfinals will be staged Tuesday at the French Open, highlighted by a highly-anticipated showdown between top-ranked Belgian Justine Henin and former world No. 1 American Serena Williams.

The eighth-seeded Williams is 6-3 lifetime against the top-seeded Henin, including wins in their last two meetings. The American star overcame her Belgian counterpart in a marquee final in Miami earlier this season, but Henin won their lone meeting at the French Open, back in the 2003, when the Belgian prevailed in a semifinal at Roland Garros. Henin went on to win that match after winning a controversial point during the clash.

Henin is a five-time Grand Slam champion, including three French Open titles in the last four years. She's won the last two French Opens, including a victory over Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova in last year's finale.

Williams owns eight major titles, including one at the Australian Open back in January and her lone French Open crown in 2002.

The top-four seeds are all still standing in Paris, and the other three will also take to the courts here on Day 10.

Second-seeded Maria Sharapova will encounter her ninth-seeded fellow Russian Anna Chakvetadze. Sharapova is 3-0 lifetime against her countrywoman, including a win in the Aussie Open quarters in January. Sharapova also beat Chakvetadze here in Paris in 2005.

Sharapova staved off some match points here on Sunday in order to sneak past dangerous Swiss lefthander Patty Schnyder.

The 20-year-old Sharapova is a two-time major titlist and has appeared in the last two Grand Slam finals. She prevailed at last year's U.S. Open and was routed by Williams in this year's Aussie Open title affair.

Also on Tuesday, a third-seeded Kuznetsova will face seventh-seeded Serbian Ana Ivanovic and fourth-seeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic will meet sixth-seeded Czech Nicole Vaidisova. The former U.S. Open champion Kuznetsova is 1-2 all- time against Ivanovic, including a setback in a final in Berlin just last month, while Vaidisova is 4-2 lifetime versus Jankovic, who has won two of her last three against the Czech slugger, including a victory in Sydney back in January. Jankovic also prevailed in a match against Vaidisova at last year's U.S. Open.

The semifinals will be held here on Thursday, with the winners to meet in the lucrative final on Saturday.
