Australian Open Semifinals

The semifinals are set with 5 of the 8 semifinalists from the '10 US Open also making the semis here.  A major upset with Nadal losing to Ferrer tonight or else we would have had 6 of 8.  Zvonareva is only 1 win away from a third straight slam final.  Will we see the same result as Wimbledon or Rogers Cup last year, or the US Open final?  Wozniacki is now assured of the world no. 1 ranking.  Murray has a good chance to defend his final appearance and break the British curse.

Here are the final eight:

Men
2) Roger Federer (SUI):  27th slam semifinal (8th at the AO), 22-4 record (5-2), last '10 US Open
3) Novak Djokovic (SRB):  10th slam semifinal (2nd at the AO), 3-6 record (1-0), last '10 US Open
5) Andy Murray (GBR):  5th slam semifinal (2nd at the AO), 2-2 record (1-0), last '10 Wimbledon
6) David Ferrer (ESP):  2nd slam semifinal (1st at the AO), 0-1 record, last '07 US Open

Women
1) Caroline Wozniacki (DEN):  3rd slam semifinal (1st at the AO), 1-1 record, last '10 US Open
2) Vera Zvonareva (RUS):  4th slam semifinal (2nd at the AO), 2-1 record (0-1), last '10 US Open
3) Kim Clijsters (BEL):  15th slam semifinal (6th at the AO), 7-7 record (1-4), last '10 US Open
9) Na Li (CHN):  2nd slam semifinal (2nd at the AO), 0-1 record (0-1), last '10 Aussie Open

Enjoy!  There are really some great semis to be had!  Federer vs Djokovic, Murray vs Ferrer, Wozniacki vs Li, Zvonareva vs Clijsters.
