PARIS, France – There were ups and downs in her last three rounds, as she had to battle back from a set down to win all of them – but it was all ups and no downs on Court Philippe Chatrier on Wednesday, as Serena Wiliams powered past Sara Errani in straight sets to reach the French Open semifinals.
Errani always seems to bring out her best in Paris – going into this match she had won 19 of her last 22 matches here, including a fairytale run to her first major final in 2012, falling to Maria Sharapova.
But the No.17-seeded Errani was no match for the No.1-seeded Williams in this quarterfinal clash, as Williams hit 39 winners to 23 unforced errors to cruise through in an hour and six minutes, 6-1, 6-3.
Williams has always thrived in this match-up – she’s now an impressive 9-0 lifetime against Errani.
