I have to say I am pretty happy to see Francesca Schiavone making it to her first Grand Slam semifinal and there is no better place than the French Open. I really like watching her play.
Earlier, the Italian pulled off the upset of Caroline Wozniacki to in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, to advance to the semifinal. Joining her was Elena Dementieva who came back from losing the first set to advance in three, including a bagel set in the third.
I really hope Dementieva would win because she is one of those great Top 10 players who are just there yet with the slam. If she wins it will do her a world of wonder.
The same thing could be said about Jelena Jankovic and Samantha Stosur. With Justine Henin running out of steam after playing five straight days and losing to Stosur yesterday, these players should take advantage.
Considering Serena's weak point is on clay, this is their chance!
