First Women's Semifinal Set
While everyone buzzes about the Venus Williams-Jelena Jankovic match later tonight, the semifinal on the bottom half is now set. It's the battle of Russians, if not exactly notable (or pronouncable) names. 2004 U.S. Open champ Svetlana Kuznetsova will take on Anna Chakvetadze.
Both won easily today: Chakvetadze beat Shahar Peer 6-4, 6-1; Kuznetsova beat Agnes Szavay 6-1, 6-4.
One good thing for the USTA to make up for the lack of star power: They're both playing their best tennis.
Per Reuters:
In a hastily called news conference, several CBS affiliates announced that the match has been dropped in favor of a message from the Emergency Broadcast System.
