Serena storms into Rome semis
Saturday, 8 May 2010
ROME, May 7 (AFP): World number one Serena Williams had few problems in dismissing Russia's Maria Kirilenko 6-1, 6-4 Thursday to reach the semi-finals of the Rome Open.
There she could face world number four and sister Venus, who plays seventh seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia in the last of the day's quarter-finals.
Serena looked set for a particularly short afternoon as she took 10 of the first 11 games against her 37th ranked opponent, who had taken her to three sets as a teenager at Roland Garros six years ago.
