Dokic’s giant killing run to the quarter-finals was one of the memorable moments of last year’s tournament. Her opponent in today’s night session will bring back many memories of 2009.

Dokic, 13/8 to win tonight, faced Kleybanova (4/9) in the fourth round with the Russian coming off a third round win over Ana Ivanovic. The result was an epic, going on into the night which Dokic eventually took 7-5 5-7 8-6 in front of a partisan home crowd.

Since then Dokic, 200/1 to win the tournament, has not quite pushed on as much as her fans hoped, though at 58 in the world rankings she no longer needs wildcards. Kleybanova (300/1 outright) enjoyed a successful 2009 and is up to 28 in the rankings.

It is a tough one to predict as neither player has had a great start to the year. Kleybanova has lost both her matches so far and Dokic got thrashed 6-2, 6-2 in Hobart by Shahar Peer.
