Davydenko was simply unable to match his compatriot Youzhny on Vodafone Arena, succumbing in tame fashion.

Youzhny next faces Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who beat fellow Frenchman and doubles partner Richard Gasquet 6-2 6-7 7-6 6-3.

"I played well. I was very good in my body. I felt everything good, so that's the difference, maybe," Tsonga smiled.

Youzhny is looking forward to pitting his wits against the powerful Frenchman.

"I have to go on court and try to show 100 percent what I can do with my game. And after we'll see if it will be enough to beat Tsonga."

World number one Henin breezed past Taiwan's Hsieh Su-wei 6-2 6-2 to book her place in the last eight.

"Now it's like another tournament is going to start. It's gonna be another level," the 25-year-old told reporters.

"There are things I'll have to improve and really raise my level in the next matches."

SHARAPOVA SPARKLED

Fifth seed Sharapova sparkled on the Vodafone Arena, pummelling 11th-seeded fellow Russian Elena Dementieva for the loss of just two games.

"I did a good job of just being solid," the 20-year-old told reporters. "I was seeing the ball well today.

"Quarter-final of a grand slam is not going to be easy, especially when you're playing against someone that's number one in the world."

Champion Serena Williams posted a solid 6-3 6-4 win over Czech Nicole Vaidisova and next plays Jankovic.
