The ever consistent top 4 women continued to show why they are where they're at in the rankings, all beating 'mere mortal' top 10 opponents in the quarters.
(Rank/Seed)
1/1 Azarenka may not be holding on to her top spot, but she can still defend her title, having beaten (7/6) Errani 62 62.
2/2 Serena will become the oldest number one of all time after coming back to beat (8/7) Kvitova 36 63 75. For most of the match, Serena was sluggish and outplayed. Kvitova hit 9 aces in total and led 4-1 in the third, before Serena got her game together. Serena finished on her 14th ace, to go with her uncharacteristic 8 double faults to secure the number one ranking. After her trials and tribulations with illness, Serena was visibly overwhelmed by her achievement.
3/3 Sharapova served brilliantly, hitting 12 aces to beat (9/8) Stosur 62 64.
4/4 A. Radwanska edged close friend (10/10) Wozniacki 62 75, from 0-3 and 3-5, set point down!
This isn't the first time these top 4 women have reached the semis of the same event, having done so very recently at the WTA Championships in Istanbul.
