What a night session for Tuesday in Australia.

A couple of former women's world #1's.  Australia's best hope, and a former #1 in Lleyton Hewitt, along with an Argentine player who can beat anyone on this surface.  Also, two of these players were at one time, engaged.

Clisters leads the series 7-2 and won the last time they played in Cincinnati last year.  I would have to say the Belgian should win in two sets, but expect Safina to give everything she has.

Hewitt and Nalbandian should be a close 5-setter.  We all remember the epic match they played in the quarters back in 2005, whern Hewitt came out on top 10-8 in the 5th set.  Nalbandian has won the last two meetings, expect to see a Nalbandian win here in 4 sets.
