It's down to the last four at the Tier I event in Montreal. While Safina's victory over Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) didn't come that surprising, world No. 2 Jelena Jankovic succumbed to unseed Domnika Cibulkova (SVK) in straight sets. Jankovic stated that she felt powerless and lost concentration after being up 5:1 but couldn't find a way back into the game.Safina fought it out from the baseline with her also hard hitting countrywoman. Expectations were high that this would be the match of the day and it really turned out to be.
Maid Marion from France continued her great hard-court run with just another straight set victory over Ai Sugiyama, but needed medical treatment on her foot during the second set, which might cause her trouble in today's semis.
As many before, Tamira Paszek wasn't able to add one more victory after her stunning performance against Ana Ivanovic. Victoria Azarenka was one shot too good and guaranteed herself a semi-final place, her second at a Tier I event after Berlin earlier this season.
Semi-Final action will take place tonight with Bartoli taking on Cibulkova and Azarenka on Safina. I bet Cibulkova in three, Safina in straight sets.
