Kim Clijsters & Jelena Jankovic are out. However, Justine Henin survives she advances to fourth round of the Australian Open.

Nadia Petrova of Russia, destroyed Kim Clijsters of Belgium 6-0 6-1 in  a stunning upset at the Australian Open today in the third round.  The match only lasted fifty two minutes!

The result is very strange because Clijsters had a 3-1 lead in her head to head series with Petrova. Petrova is a talented player but she doesn’t have the mental toughness or the discipline to be a top five player. Petrova is a former top ten player , but she is so inconsistent with her results.

Clijsters had a lot of momentum, she is the  2009 US Open champion and she won Brisbane International two weeks ago.

Was Kim injured? Was she sick or not feeling well? What happened?  Today’s result is the worst loss  ever in Kim Clijsters incredible career.

Kim is such a great champion, she is so consistent. I am stunned! I can’t believe this! Wow!

Petrova is very mentally weak, she has a history of choking in big matches. Something is  wrong with Kim physically or maybe she was mentally fatigued?  I don’t understand this result?    How is this possible? It doesn’t make sense?

Meanwhile,  Justine Henin of Belgium, survived her tough third round match against Alisa Kleybanova of Russia and won 3-6 6-4 6-2. Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, she turned back Sara Errani of Italy 6-1 6-7  6-3 she will face Henin in the fourth round.   Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine, upset Jelena Jankovic of Serbia 6-2 6-3.

The number two women’s seed Dinara Safina of Russia rolled into the fourth round with a 6-1 6-2 win over the British woman Elena Baltacha. Maria Kirilenko of Russia defeated the Italian woman Roberta Vinci 7-5 7-6 she will face Safina in the next round. Zie Zheng of China she upset Marion Bartoli of France 5-7 6-3 6-0. Zheng she will face Bondarenko in the fourth round.
