Slovakia’s Daniela Hantuchova became the fifth of eight seeds to leave the Zurich Open early (after Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Amelie Mauresmo, and Serena Williams).

This means that Hantuchova’s chances of qualifying for the season-ending WTA Championships in Madrid are getting slimmer.
World number nine Hantuchova partly blames the cold for her loss: "I had a really hard time today trying to catch my breath in between points. I have been fighting a cold for the past few days and I really just had nothing left and became very tired out there."

THE West Coast Eagles appear unlikely to face AFL sanctions as a result of the Ben Cousins affair after league chief executive Andrew Demetriou praised the club for making “significant progress” and “real attempts” to address the cultural problems that had contributed to the former captain’s drug addiction.
The Eagles were hauled before the commission in April and put on notice that any further wild behaviour from the west would be met with harsh penalties by the competition’s governing body, with loss of draft picks, premiership points and monetary fines among the sanctions available to the AFL.
