FAMILY CIRCLE UPSETS TOP SEEDS


Caroline Wozniacki, who the 5th seeded won terribly against 3rd seeded Elena Dementieva. It was a 3 hour match that lasted in clay court. It makes Dementieva feel the pressure and Caroline was very confident of winning the match from the start as her service and rally was very powerful and skillful. She won her by 6-4,5-7,7-5. It was really a nice match to see in the television. I was so excited when I saw the break points taken by dementieva in the second set to advance to the third set. Wozniacki is looking for her second straight tour victory after winning last week on clay at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Now Caroline wozniacki have to face Lisciki in her finals. Lisciki was the 16th seeded and she won over Venus williams. She won over sixth-seeded Marion Bartoli 6-3, 6-1 in the other semifinal. Lisciki is very powerful with her serve as she serves at 125 mph.
