Fans of Svetlana Kuznetsova must have been wringing their hands during the second set of her Sony Ericsson Open match against Caroline Wozniacki. Having taken the first set 6-4, Kuznetsova served for the match twice, and was broken both times. She looked tired and frustrated, and the momentum moved to her opponent, who won the second set in a tiebreak.
A tennis match, however, can be a tricky gestalt, not defined by the discrete properties of a set. So it was (after I had to stop watching this match--work keeps interfering with my tennis-watching) with this match. Kuznetsova apparently found her way, Wozniacki lost hers, and the Russian took the final set 6-1. Kuznetsova will play either Victoria Azarenka or Sam Stosur in the semifinals.
