By the end of the third round of the Australian Open 2010, the Belgian quarter of the draw was without Kim Clijsters and Kirsten Flipkens (who Justine Henin defeated in the first round). And by the end of the fourth it will have been whittled down to one as Henin takes on world No. 16 Yanina Wickmayer. Neither had easy third round matches, and both will potentially take niggling injuries into the match: Henin a leg injury and Wickmayer the back trouble that plague her during her third round encounter. They may be from the same country, but they have very different playing styles. One thing they do share is a resolute determination, so don’t expect either to throw in the towel. It’s hard to look past Henin though.
