Miami
Singles – Semifinal: (2) Maria Sharapova def. (4) Caroline
Wozniacki 4-6 6-2 6-4
If you want to understand this more-than-two-and-a-half-hour
match, perhaps the most striking statistic is that there
were no aces at all. There were ten breaks, and Caroline
Wozniacki in particular struggled, winning only 52% of
service points. She will not be rising above her current #6.
Maria Sharapova won’t rise above #2, either, but with
Victoria Azarenka finally having lost a match, Sharapova
will actually gain a little ground this week.
Singles – Semifinal: (5) Agnieszka Radwanska def. (7) Marion
Bartoli 6-4 6-2
At first it looked as if Marion Bartoli really could put up
a fight. The first half of the first set was long and close.
Then Agnieszka Radwanska took control. Which means that
Marion Bartoli will remain #7, and Radwanska #4.
#4, but with a lot of potential to go higher. Radwanska is
now less than 800 points behind #3 Petra Kvitova. Win the
final and the gap is less than 500 points. And Radwanska has
been looking very solid this year, and Kvitova has looked
poor. If this continues, Radwanska will probably go higher.
Who knows — if she can beat Sharapova in the final, she
might even have a shot at Sharapova’s #2 ranking when Rome
comes off….
