The final four in Doha!
by bahamaderek on Oct.30, 2009, under Caroline Wozniacki, Jelena Jankovic, Serena Williams, Venus Williams
In the Maroon Group of the WTA Doha Championship, Elena Dementieva’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals were ended by the already eliminated Svetlana Kuznetsova – a result which sent Venus Williams through thanks to her superior percentage of sets won after all three players were tied with one victory each.
The Russian fifth seed needed a victory to progress behind group winner Serena Williams at the expense of Venus but was completely overpowered by her rampant compatriot, who surged to a one-sided 6-3 6-2 triumph. Dementieva had beaten Venus earlier in the tournament but straight-sets defeats against Serena, who won all three of her matches, and Kuznetsova sees her bow out.
Venus joins her sister Serena, Jelena Jankovic and Caroline Woznicki. It has been a bizarre event so far, and with womens tennis anything can happen!
