Sugiyama smashes final hopes for Hingis

BELGIAN pair Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin-Hardenne continued their march into the last 16 but there will be no fairytale final for former Wimbledon champion Martina Hingis.

Second seed Clijsters and world number three Henin-Hardenne have yet to drop a game and they remain on course for a semi-final duel.

After breezing through her first two matches, Hingis also had high hopes of bridging a nine-year gap by regaining the title she lifted as a 16-year-old.
