Venus v. Bartoli, All-Belgian Duel in Miami Semis
In a remake of the 2007 Wimbledon final, Venus Williams will face Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli in one semifinal while Belgians Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin will battle in the other at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami.
Henin leads their career head-to-head rivalry 12-11 but Clijsters beat Henin in a nailbiting 3rd set tiebreaker in Brisbane earlier this year.
Venus and Bartoli have only ever played twice, with Maid Marion earning revenge for her Wimbledon loss on the hard courts of Stanford last year by beating Venus in a 3-set final.
I predict a Venus-Henin final...
