Bartoli now goes to the Brisbane final, in which she will play Victoria Azarenka. Azarenka defeated Sara Errani 6-3, 6-1 in the semifinals. Azarenka has been a finalist four times, but has never won a tournament.

Injured Mauresmo retires from Brisbane
It should have been a great match: An in-form Amelie Mauresmo vs. an in-form Marion Bartoli. But during the first set, Mauresmo felt her thigh muscle tighten. This is not the first time she has had this sensation in the last few months, and she retired in order to prevent further injury. Of course, one cannot help but wonder whether the old adductor injury has returned. My guess would be that it has, but I don't want to think about it.

ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!(insert expletive of choice)
here's hoping it's just a wee setback......
I hope...but if it turns out to be her adductor again, it will probably be bad news.
Hey Diane, you lost track for a second here: Azarenka won her semi against Errani, not Rezai.
Thanks for the catch. Bad combination of late night and limited brain.
Shame, Amelie Mauresmo is one of my favorite players and personalities on the circuit. Fingers crossed she will be OK for the Australian Open.
