Sveta Reaches Semi's of Marbella

Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) (#13) reaches the semi's of Marbella, a good start to her clay court season.  Her year has been a bit inconsistent though.  As of now, she has reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, the quarters of Sydney and the finals of Dubai.  She also lost to a new and upcoming player (Irina-Camelia Begu) in her semi-final match here.  This was her path to the semi's -
