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.
The semifinal: Sharapova – Ivanovic
Head to head is 6-2 for Maria that has won the last 5 matches. The last match they played was in Stuttgart quarters this year when Maria won 7-5 4-6 6-4.
