Zvonareva lands in U.S. Open semis
Tennis Betting Lines
09/08/2010 -
Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Russia's top player, Vera
Zvonareva, was a straight-set quarterfinal winner Wednesday at the 2010 U.S.
Open.
The seventh-seeded Zvonareva reached her second straight Grand Slam semifinal
by handling 31st-seeded Kaia Kanepi 6-3, 7-5 on another sun-filled afternoon
at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Zvonareva broke Kanepi for a 6-5 lead in the second set, and converted on her
first match point in the next game when Kanepi launched one final backhand
wide of the court at Ashe Stadium.
The 26-year-old Zvonareva advanced in 1 hour, 53 minutes, despite only
striking 10 winners over two sets. The Russian did, however, pile up seven
service breaks, compared to four for her Estonian counterpart, who also
misfired for nine double faults.
Kanepi also appeared in the Wimbledon quarterfinals in July.
Zvonareva will meet the Caroline Wozniacki-Dominika Cibulkova winner in
Friday's semis, while the other final-four bout will pit second-seeded and
defending champion Kim Clijsters against third-seeded former titlist Venus
Williams. The former world No. 1 Clijsters beat Wozniacki, this year's top
seed, in last year's U.S. Open finale, also titled here in 2005, and was the
runner-up in 2003. The former top-ranked Williams titled here in 2000 and 2001
and was the runner-up in Flushing in 1997 and 2002.
The feisty Zvonareva, who celebrated a birthday here on Tuesday, will appear
in her third career major semifinal. She's now reached the final four in three
of her last seven Grand Slam events and is trying to give Russia a third U.S.
Open champion in seven years.
Zvonareva lost to Serena Williams in July's Wimbledon finale.
The newest U.S. Open champ will pocket at least $1.7 million.
