Roland Garros
Serena Williams overcame a mid-match fight back from injured Svetlana Kuznetsova to go through 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to reach her first French Open semi-final in a decade. Top seed Williams will play next against fifth seed Sara Errani after the Italian 2012 runner-up beat fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 7-6(8).
Williams is bidding for her first Roland Garros crown 11 years after her so-far only success in Paris in 2002. Kuznetsova revealed that she has been playing through an abdominal strain. “I’ve had it since three matches, so I felt like I played on returning in all the games. She would serve whole match without my serve. I could not ace.
“Against Serena, it’s a bit complicated to play like that. It still was very even and I had my chances. I was playing quite well on the returns. The match was quite good, high level.”
Williams looked like making routine work of 2009 Paris champion Kuznetsova with a 28-minute opening set. But that’s exactly when the experienced Russian with two Grand Slam titles in hand started to show her big game. Kuznetsova started the second set with a break and son leveled. But her physical condition – she could not serve at any respectable speed – started to tell as she took the loss while handing Williams the first four service breaks of her fortnight on the clay.
“Today I was so determined to get through that, and I really, really, really, really wanted it,” said Williams. “”I was really just fighting, giving it everything I have. I was definitely glad to win it.” Errani, who lost the title match a year ago to Maria Sharapova, had beaten Radwanska just once, with six losses on her record in the series. The Italian stands 0-5 against Williams.
