Sharapova and Ivanovic to clash in Madrid semifinal

We have a good (looking) semifinal in Madrid as Sharapova and Ivanovic will face each other for a place in the final.

Sharapova – Kanepi 6-2 6-4

It took 82 minutes for the Russian beauty to defeat Kaia. Maria obtained 12 break points to convert 8 of those to lose the only break point conceded.

 Ivanovic – Kerber 6-3 6-1

Easy stuff for Ana that breezes past Angelique Kerber in less than 1 hour. Angelique wasn’t at her top to commit 6 double faults and win only 3 points out of 19 on her 2nd serve.
