Bob Larson's Tennis News | Friday Women's Daily Tennis News Summary

Budapest
Singles - Semifinal: (1) Sara Errani def. Anna Tatishvili 6-2 6-1
Sara Errani is up to at least #26. She'll be #24 if she wins Budapest, #25 if she loses and Carla Suarez Navarro wins Estoril, #26 if she loses and Kaia Kanepi wins Estoril.

Singles - Semifinal: Elena Vesnina def. (5) Marina Erakovic 6-2 6-4
Even if you ignore the fact that Elena Vesnina had already upset two seeds here, this was probably close to inevitable; Marina Erakovic had hurt herself the day before. But it's not good news for the final, because Vesnina can't win finals. We show Erakovic ending the week at #39.

Doubles - Semifinals: Husarova/Rybarikova def. Marosi/Tatishvili 7-6(7-3) 2-6 10-6 (Match TB)

Estoril
Singles - Semifinal: (6) Kaia Kanepi def. (1) Roberta Vinci 6-2 7-5
Kaia Kanepi is like the little girl with the little curl: When she is good, she is very, very good; when she is bad, she is rotten. Right now, she is very, very good. She is up to at least #28, with the possibility for more. She leaves Roberta Vinci at #20.

Singles - Semifinal: Carla Suarez Navarro def. (Q) Karin Knapp 6-4 6-0
This should take Carla Suarez Navarro to around #45.

Doubles - Semifinals: Chuang/Zhang def. Panova/Watson 6-3 6-3
