Paris

Singles – Semifinal: (2) Marion Bartoli def. Klara Zakopalova 7-6(7-3) 6-0

No real surprise here, except for the way Klara Zakopalova fell apart, but it moves Marion Bartoli a little closer to the Top Five. It won’t matter this week, but it might matter next. Klara Zakopalova will probably be #45.

Singles – Semifinal: (9) Angelique Kerber def. Yanina Wickmayer 6-7(2-7) 6-3 6-4

This looks like yet another breakthrough for Angelique Kerber. Friday, she posted her first Top Five win. Saturday, she clinched a career high — she will rise from #27 to #23. It could be as high as #21 if she wins the title. Yanina Wickmayer ends up at #27.

Doubles – Semifinal: Groenefeld/Martic def. Craybas/Zahlavova Strycova 7-6(9-7) 6-3

Pattaya City

Singles – Semifinal: (3) Daniela Hantuchova def. (Q) Hsieh Su-Wei 6-4 6-1

Daniela Hantuchova just loves this place — she is in her second straight final. If she can defend the title, she should stay at #20. Otherwise, she will fall to #21.

Singles – Semifinal: (4) Maria Kirilenko def. (7) Sorana Cirstea 6-2 5-7 6-4

Maria Kirilenko keeps struggling but somehow keeps on winning. She has now assured her Top 25 ranking. Sorana Cirstea will be just above #50.

Doubles – Semifinals: (1) Mirza/Rodionova def. (3) Amanmuradova/Date-Krumm 6-4 6-4

In this very weak field, it’s obviously no surprise to see the only team with a combined ranking above #50 (indeed, the only team with a combined ranking above #135!) in the final.
