Madrid

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) Serena Williams def. Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-3 0-6 7-5

This was even more of a flip-flop than it looked; Serena Williams trailed 4-2 in the third set. And she hasn’t clinched #1 yet….

Singles – Quarterfinal: (2) Maria Sharapova def. Kaia Kanepi 6-2 6-4

One more round and we get our Sharapova versus Serena contest for #1…. For Kaia Kanepi, this leaves her right around #40, and about 120 points from a Roland Garros seed. Given her current form, she could certainly manage that — if she gets a good draw at Rome. Presumably we know what she’ll be watching….

Singles – Quarterfinal: (16) Ana Ivanovic def. (6) Angelique Kerber 6-3 6-1

This is the story of this year for Angelique Kerber. After her terrific 2012, things keep breaking down. She will fall from #6 to #7. Ana Ivanovic is up to #13.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (7) Sara Errani def. Ekaterina Makarova 6-4 6-3

And so Serena Williams will have to face another grinder — probably the top grinder on the WTA today. It appears Ekaterina Makarova will be at #20. Sara Errani, because she won and Angelique Kerber lost, will rise to #6.

Doubles – Semifinal: Black/Erakovic def. Soler-Espinosa/Suarez Navarro 6-1 6-3

Cara Black has never liked clay much, so this is, at the very least, a highly interesting result for her.

Doubles – Semifinal: Pavlyuchenkova/Safarova def. Mladenovic/Voskoboeva 6-7(5-7) 6-0 10-7

Even with the loss, Kristina Mladenovic should hit the doubles Top Twenty next week.
