Anna Chakvetadze in Australian Open Tennis 2008

Anna Chakvetadze is another rising star of tennis world. She is the sixth seed of Australian Open 2008. The tournament is set to kick off from January 14. Chakvetadze was very much successful last year. In fact, Anna Chakvetadze spent her best year in her short career with reaching her first ever grand slam semi final in U.S. Open 2008. She is also one of the favorites for the Australian Open 2008 tournament.

The Russian has to face strong challenges from the fourth round of this first grand slam tournament of the year. Ninth seed Daniela Hantuchova could be her most likely fourth round opponent. However, still she would be favorite against Hantuchova. In quarter final, she may face either Nadia Petrova or Svetlana Kuznetsova. Interestingly, both of them are countrywomen. So, there is a possibility to see an all Russian quarter final. Dinara Safina or Ana Ivanovic or Venus Williams could be her possible semi final opponent.

There is no doubt; winning the title of Australian Open 2008 would not be so easy for this youngster. However, she is a skillful player with lots of rhythm and willingness. So, she may make it to the final at least in Australian Open 2008.
