Despite my predictions to the contrary, Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 in a hard fought, high quality quarterfinal match at the Family Circle Cup championships yesterday.
Today, she defeated French 18-year-old Alize Cornet 7-5, 6-3 to reach her first clay court final in Charleston, South Carolina.

In the final she will play either Vera Zvonareva or Elena Dementieva both of whom she has lost once to in 5 meetings. Dementieva beat Serena in a final in Russia last year, however. Serena has only lost one match all year (to Henin) and I suspect she will win this title and rise to #6 in the World Rankings on Monday.
Mad Professah's pick: Williams in 2 sets.
