Wozniacki and Zakopalova to meet in Copenhagen final
Top seed Caroline Wozniacki defeated Anna Chakvetadze today in Copenhagen, in a semifinal match whose momentum turned several times. Wozniacki dominated the first set, Chakvetadze dominated the second, and the third--which featured three breaks of serve--was up for grabs. Grab it Wozniacki did, which gave her a 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 victory. Chakvetadze, I should add, is in pretty good form again, and had an enthusiastic cheering section in the stands (which she probably appreciated every time "Let the Sunshine In" blared from the speakers).
In the other semifinal, 7th seed Klara Zakopalova defeated 2nd seed Li Na 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 in a match that featured at least one very questionable line call.
Wozniacki and Zakopalova have played each other only once before, and Wozniacki won in three sets.

Pironkova out in 1st round in Copenhagen
The Wimbledon semifinal thrill is gone.
Yesterday, Petra Kivitova was defeated in the first round in Copenhagen, and today, Tsvetana Pironkova lost in straight sets to Anna Lapushchenkova. Both Kvitova and Pironkova are talented players (I especially like watching Pironkova), but post-Wimbledon, they have not shown us anything that would suggest a true breakthrough.
