Spectators of this match should get ready their ear-plugs as the 2 biggest screamers of the game clash in this semi-final. Azarenka ruthlessly took Sharapova apart in the Australian Open and Indian Wells finals. Will Sharapova finally beat Azarenka on hard courts? Sharapova won their latest encounter in Stuttgart, but it was on clay where Sharapova had a stellar season. Sharapova's last win over Azarenka on hardcourts was all the way back in 2009 Beijing and she barely scraped through. So I expect Azarenka to win this match comfortably as Sharapova seems to be struggling in her recent matches.
Pick: Azarenka in 2 sets
(4) Serena Williams vs. (10) Sara Errani
Serena Williams marches on towards her 2nd slam of the year as she faces Sara Errani in the semi-finals. Errani is the surprise package of the tournament, quietly making her way through the draw without much fanfare. However, Sara's journey is almost certain to stop here. Serena will just crush Errani's under-powered serve and plummet the Italian into submission. I don't see how Serena is going to lose this as she is fit, healthy and hungry. Besides, if Serena needs any advice, she can always ask sister Venus for some as the elder Williams had already beaten Sara twice this year.
Pick: Serena in 2 easy sets
