We have the best possible semifinal in the upper part of the draw in Toronto where the seed no.1 and the seed no.3 are going to clash for a place in the final.
Both players reached the final four without dropping a single set. As usual Serena Williams’ path was unbelievable with the American conceding only 10 games in the entire tournament so far.
Serena – Rybarikova
It took only 1 hour for Serena to win this match against Madgalena Rybarikova (world no. 42). The superiority of the American no.1 was overwhelming as she fired 7 aces in 7 service games and she won 20 points out of 25 on Rybarikova’s second serve. Match Stats
“I’m definitely feeling pretty good, playing much better than I have the past month I would say. I’m glad I’m getting back to the feeling and getting into some rhythm.” Commented Serena after the match.
Radwanska – Errani
This was a much tougher encounter than the previous quarter. Agnieszka had to battle 2 hours to finally win this match. Both players were struggling a bit too much with their service games. Agnieszka was broken 7 times and Sara 8 times on 12 service games each. The Pole managed to win only 5 points out of 24 on her second serve (Sara 9 out of 20). Match stats.
The semifinal: Serena vs. Radwanska
Head to head is 5-0 for Serena and 4 times out of 5 that was a trash. But Agnieszka is playing a very good tennis and Serena knows it to comment “It’s a good matchup. She does everything so well. She’s playing better too actually so she’s having a much better year. It’s going to be an interesting match. It’s definitely not going to be easy. I can only hope that I play well and I can only hope that I come out on top.”
