WTA ACURA CLASSIC: Semifinals Preview

Maria SHARAPOVA (RUS) vs Anna CHAKVETADZE (RUS). After coming back from a set and a break down as well as saving a match point to beat Venus Williams last night, Anna Chakvetadze will face a well-rested Maria Sharapova who dispatched Sania Mirza easily 6-2, 6-1. The two Russians have played two tight tension-filled matches in the quarterfinals of the Australian and the French this year, which Sharapova has won without dropping a set. However, Chakvetadze has won the last two tournaments on the WTA tour, was regularly outhitting Venus Williams last night (on the backhand side) and has nothing to lose. PREDICTION: Chakvetadze in 3 sets.

Patty SCHNYDER (SUI) vs Elena DEMENTIEVA (RUS). Schnyder did well to beat hard-hitting (but mentally suspect) Nadia Petrova in straight sets yesterday. I suspect she will have more difficulty with the hard-hitting, weak-serving, mentally tough Dementieva. However, whoever wins this match will have their hands full with the winner of the Sharapova/Chakvetadze match. PREDICTION: Dementieva in 2 sets.
