Serena Advances To Family Circle Cup Final

Today Serena played a very talented young Frenchwoman Alize Cornet in the women’s semifinals of the Family Circle Cup in Charleston South Carolina. Cornet is only eighteen years old and I am impressed with her clay court game she moves very well on the slow clay. Cornet is very quick and on the WTA tour a woman needs speed to compete with the best players . Cornet also advanced the semifinals of Amelia Island last week. Cornet pushed Serena hard but Serena still won in straight sets 7-5 6-3. Serena will play the Russian Vera Zvonareva in the women’s final. Serena will also rise to number seven in next week’s WTA rankings passing her sister Venus.
