Justine Serves Up Double Bagel 2006/03/14 http://www.pacificlifeopen.com/en/news/2006/wta_monday2.asp Chasing her second Pacific Life Open title in three seasons, top seed Justine Henin-Hardenne wasted no time in powering into the fourth round Monday, crushing Japan's Aiko Nakamura 6-0, 6-0. The Belgian moved to 16-1 on the season, with her only loss on the season coming against Amelie Mauresmo in the final of the Australian Open when she retired with a stomach upset. Looking ahead to her third match in three days with another Japanese player, Ai Sugiyama, Henin-Hardenne said she was thankful for a speedy victory Monday. "The wait has been very long today," said Henin-Hardenne, who had earlier watched grinding three-set victories by Lleyton Hewitt and Elena Dementieva on center court. "It's been a very long day, too. Very long matches before me. Then we have to play three days in a row. I will have to play tomorrow. So it's good to be quick. But in my first two matches, I've been very focused on every point and try to save my energy for my next match. I'm very happy about that." Despite a shocking serving performance, fourth seed Elena Dementieva rallied from a set down to defeat rising Indian star Sania Mirza 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the fourth round. The Russian served 18 double faults, was broken eight times and won just 38 percent of points on her second serve. She next plays China's Na Li. Argentine Gisela Dulko, seeded 17th, won a 2 hr., 23 min. battle with 12th seeded Frenchwoman Tatiana Golovin 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(6). --
