US Open: Women's Semifinals

The women's final is set:

Kim Clijsters vs Vera Zvonareva

Their previous head to head:

2002 US Open (hard) R32:  Clijsters 1-6, 7-5, 6-4
2006 Eastbourne (grass) R16:  Clijsters 3-0 ret.
2006 Wimbledon (grass) R128:  Clijsters 7-5, 6-3
2006 Stanford (hard) QF:  Clijsters 6-2, 3-6, 6-1

2010 Cincinatti (hard) QF:  Zvonareva 2-6, 6-3, 6-2

Some interesting results those.  Clijsters was ranked higher than Zvonareva on every occasion.  Clijsters leads in matches 5-2, however Zvonareva has won both matches since Kim un-retired.  Clijsters leads 10-7 in sets.  On hard courts, Clijsters leads 3-1, 7-5 in sets, and every match has gone 3 sets.  Really all their matches have been close.  It should be a good one Saturday night!

The semifinal results:

7) Vera Zvonareva (RUS) def. 1) Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) 6-4, 6-3

Zvonareva is up to #4 in the world and would pass Wozniacki and Venus for #2 with a win tomorrow.  Caroline fails to defend her finals points but will not drop unless Vera wins the title.

2) Kim Clijsters (BEL) def. 3) Venus Williams (USA) 4-6, 7-6, 6-4

Clijsters moves past Schiavone to #7 in the world with the win can obtain #5 with a win tomorrow.  Venus will stay #3 only with a Clijsters win while Jankovic will drop to #6 with a Clijsters win.
