Maria Sharapova Moves into 3rd Final at Indian Wells

WTA Indian Wells - Women's Semifinal

2 Maria Sharapova d 13 Maria Kirilenko - 64 63

The '06 champ will try to make it 2 titles at Indian Wells.

She failed to do so in last years final against Vika.

She will need to get thru '11 champ Caroline Wozniacki. H2H: 4-2/Maria.

I'd bet the house on Maria winning this one.

With the Sf win she'll pass Vika and move up to the #2 ranking on Monday.

Post match: Am I? That's great - yeah, it's nice. It's better than #3, right?

I love when players pretend they don't know stuff.
