2nd seeds Liezel Huber and Nadia Petrova advanced to the U.S. Open semifinals today, with a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 win over 5th seeds Lisa Raymond and Rennae Stubbs. Also advancing were 7th seeds Chan Yung-Jan and Zheng Jie. They defeated Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Meghann Shaugnessy 6-4, 6-4.
These U.S. Open doubles matches are quite entertaining. It's a shame so little attention is paid to them.
It was nice to see Petrova tame some agressive shots and get some of them in. It couldn't have been easy with the wind. I hope they win since Petrova hasn't won a major.
