US Open Tennis – How far will the “babes of tennis” go?

Settled as Two make it to the semi-finals

Dementieva and Jankovic make the semi's, joined by Serena Williams and Dinara Safina which weren't on the list.

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/bracket?tournamentId=189&type=2

Background:

This years US Open is offering a sumptuous buffet of Tennis beauties. Each one competing to find who can go the furthest and come out on top. But how many will advance to the SEMI-FINALS?

Tennis babes

It's a tough competition and these girls will need to work really hard to finish first! With their agile bodies, perfect forms and beautiful faces they might find the hardest thing is to keep men focused on their game rather than their assets. But for all us ogling males who only saw sport and gym classes as an excuse to catch a sneaky glimpse of female flesh, these women represent something else...

DEEP DOWN WE SALUTE YOU WOMEN OF THE US OPEN. WE SALUTE YOU!

Currently, the top 10 "tennis babes", as voted for by Coedmagazine.com are: (World Ranking in brackets)
Ana Ivanovic (01)
Maria Kirilenko (19)
Alona Bondarenko (31)
Caroline Wozniacki (18)
Daniela Hantuchova (12)
Dominika Cibulkova (20)
Elena Dementieva (06)
Jelena Jankovic (02)
Alize Cornet (17)
Nicole Vaidisova (22)

To be a little more specific with the question I'm asking, I want to know, how many of these top 10 Babes will advance to the SEMI-FINALS of the US Open?

*These 5 "babes" are still playing and have not yet lost a match (as of the date this question was created): Ivanovik, Wozniacki, Dementieva, Jankovic, Vaidisova

Where are Serena & Venus, aren't they playing? They're both babe-worthy!

While babe-worthy, the question was trying to combine the two stories (the Co-Ed magazine poll) and the actual event. I don't think either were even included in the poll. hmmmmm

They're certainly heavy favorites to advance too!
