Wozniacki and Kanepi to play in Tokyo final

It was only a matter of time before Kaia Kanepi found herself in another Sony Ericsson WTA Tour final. She was the finalist in the 2006 tournament in Hasselt, where she lost to Kim Clijsters. And now, having defeated Aleksandra Wozniak, 6-4, 6-4, in the semifinals, she goes to the final in Tokyo. Her oppponent will be Caroline Wozniacki, who defeated lucky loser Jarmila Gajdosova, 6-4, 6-3. This is a final I would like to see, since I enjoy watching both of these women play.

Razzano defeats Williams--wins Tokyo

Virginie Razzano saved three match points in the second set, and went on to defeat Venus Williams in the final of the AIG Japan Open Tennis Championships. Williams apparently suffered some sort of injury, which--from what I have heard--is not very serious.

Only last week, at the Jinjiannan Guangzhou International Women's Open in Guangzhou, Razzano won her first career tournament, and now she has won her second, proving again that some of the toughest players around are the French ones.

Final score: 4-6, 7-6, 6-4
