Wozniacki-Kerber final set
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 04 - 2012

seeded Caroline Wozniacki beat Petra Martic 6-3, 6-2 Saturday to set up an e-Boks final against Angelique Kerber of Germany.
Wozniacki is looking for her third straight title in her home tournament and broke the Croatian's serve twice in each set to wrap up the win in 1 hour, 8 minutes. She lost her serve once in the first set, but didn't face a break point the rest of the way.
Kerber beat third-seeded Jelena Jankovic 6-2, 6-1 in the other semifinal, breaking the former top-ranked Serb five times while never dropping serve herself.
Cibulkova, Errani in final
Dominika Cibulkova and Sara Errani cruised to easy straight-set victories Saturday to set up a meeting in the Barcelona Open final.
Cibulkova routed Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-1, 6-1, while seventh-seeded Italian Errani was a 6-1, 6-2 victor over Spanish hopeful Carla Suarez Navarro.
Errani's ninth straight victory on clay put her into her second final of the season as the 33rd-ranked Italian looks to follow up her Acapulco triumph in February.
Sunday's match will be third-seeded Cibulkova's first final of the year with the 17th-ranked Slovak having won four of their six meetings — including the last two — although she lost their sole meeting on clay in 2007.
Andujar, Ramos reach final
In Casablanca, Pablo Andujar will defend his Grand Prix Hassan II title against Albert Ramos in an all-Spanish final after they won their semifinals in straight sets Saturday.
The third-seeded Andujar beat Flavio Cipolla 6-3, 7-5, while the seventh-seeded Ramos downed Igor Andreev 6-3, 7-6 (7).
Andujar, who played two matches Friday, served for the match at 5-4 but the Italian broke him to level. It was a brief respite as Andujar broke Cipolla for the fifth time and then held to win in a little under two hours.
Isner, Lopez reach semis
World No. 10 John Isner beat defending champion Ryan Sweeting 7-6 (7-1), 7-6 (7-4) Friday to reach the semifinals of the $442,500 ATP US Men's Clay Court Championship.
Isner, the second seed, fired 11 aces and saved all six break points that he faced in the all-American quarterfinal to improve to 19-6 for the season and keep alive his hopes for a first clay-court title. Isner will next face Spanish third seed Feliciano Lopez, who led 6-4, 2-2 when Carlos Berlocq of Argentina retired injured.
The other semifinal will see Argentine fourth seed Juan Monaco, who edged South Africa's Kevin Anderson 7-6 (7-4), 7-5, take on US qualifier Michael Russell, who outlasted Ryan Harrison 6-1, 5-7, 6-3.
