Safina Topples Kuznetsova

The drama of the previous two matches wasn’t there for Dinara Safina in her semifinal match against fourth-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova. Safina toppled the highly-ranked Russian in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.

Safina was playing in her first Grand Slam semifinal, and the big story is the possibility of a brother-sister combo Grand Slam winners. Marat Safin won the 2000 U.S. Open and the 2005 Australian Open.

Should Safina win her first Grand Slam title, it’d be the first time for brother and sister to win a Grand Slam.
