Semifinals

Victoria Azarenka (1) vs. Maria Sharapova (3) – Sharapova reversed her career troubles vs. Vika on clay this year.  AA Sharapova win would not shock me; especially if Vika is drained either emotionally or physically from her quarterfinal match.  Nevertheless, Vika dominated Sharapova on hard courts in big occasions twice this year.

Serena Williams (4) vs. Sara Errani (10) – Errani will have to play incredible defense and make her way to the net to have a chance at winning.  I love Errani’s spirit, and she has had a great 2012.  Her Grand Slam run in 2012 ends today.
