Roland Garros
Doubles – Semifinal: (4) Makarova/Vesnina def. (2) Hlavackova/Hradecka 6-4 7-5
The good news, of course, is that Elena Vesnina is in another Slam doubles final. The bad news is, she always loses Slam doubles finals. Of course, she always lost singles finals, too, until this year, so maybe there is hope. This didn’t really settle much, rankings-wise, except that Hlavackova and Hradecka would not rise above their current #4 and #5 spots (meaning that Nadia Petrova had clinched #3). It was the second semifinal that would have more influence.
Doubles – Semifinal: (1) Errani/Vinci def. (3) Petrova/Srebotnik 6-3 5-7 6-3
Is Nadia Petrova ever going to win a Slam? It’s not looking too likely. This feels like her last big chance. Had she won this match, Petrova/Srebotnik would have been overwhelmingly favored in the final. But instead it’s Errani/Vinci who are looking to defend — and who will be facing opponents who struggle in big matches.
Petrova has at least clinched the #3 ranking. But we show Katarina Srebotnik slipping to #7 — and it could be #8 if somehow Makarova/Vesnina win Roland Garros. In that case. Makarova will be #5 and Vesnina #7. Otherwise, they will be #6 and #8:
1..(1) ERRANI ………….9630*
1..(1) VINCI …………. 9630*
3..(3) PETROVA ……….. 7475
