Cincinnati WTA - Semifinals
4 Kim Clijsters (above) vs Ana Ivanovic - H2H: 1-0
Here's a potential fun one between 2 former #1's.
Kim's win yesterday will move her up to #5 in the rankings on Monday.
Winning the tourny will probably get her up to #4 - in only 9 events played.
Ana's showing will help her ranking as well - into the top 40. US Open seed?
Welcome back to weekend play Ana - let's make it a habit, shall we!

10 Maria Sharapova vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova - H2H: 0-0
First time: I actually spelled Pavlyuchenkova's correctly name without looking.
These battling Russian's are both looking for their 3rd titles of the year.
Killer stat: In 10 events played in '10 Maria will play her 5th Sf: 4-0.
Except for the little hiccup at the end - her match last night was full-flight.
