It was Elena Dementieva (No. 1 seed) vs. Caroline Wozniacki and Marion Bartoli vs. Sabine Lisicki in Saturday’s semi finals at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston. Youth won out, with the 18-year-old Wozniacki and 19-year-old Lisicki making it to the final.
It should be a good one. Sabine’s impressed me this week – I watched her beat Venus Williams in the Rd. of 16 and liked her big serve and feathery drop shots. Wozniacki’s playing with tons of confidence, having won a tournament in Ponte Vedra Beach last week. If Caroline wins tomorrow, she’ll crack the top 10.
Here’s how Lisicki and Wozniacki made it:
The final will be broadcast tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00pm EST on ESPN2.

I like Caro, her and Azarenka look good on the court-and Caro’s been giving Dementieva a run for her money.
Hey Izzie! Caroline definitely seems to have what it takes – I think she’s beaten 5 or 6 top ten players this year. Pretty impressive stuff. I like that she’s consistent and seems really focused on her tennis.
For all the talk of chaos on the WTA tour, we seem to have a crop of new stars emerging: Azarenka, Lisicki, Wozniacki, Wozniack, Pavlyuchenkova. I hope a few of them “stick!”
