Venus Williams reached her fourth career Dubai Tennis Championships semifinal with a 6-3, 7-5 win over qualifier Flavia Pennetta of Italy yesterday.
The American, who won the title in 2009 and 2010, squandered her first chance of victory. Serving at 5-4, she lost a match point when Pennetta hit a forehand crosscourt winner. Four points later Pennetta broke serve to even the score. However, Pennetta dropped serve in the 11th game to give Williams a second chance. After falling 0-40 behind, Williams fought back to take the game and the match.
Williams will play eighth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki after the Dane eased past Sorana Cirstea of Romania, 6-1, 6-2. Top seed Serena Williams was playing fifth-seeded Jelena Jankovic of Serbia later.
