Venus Williams reached the semifinals of the Sony Ericsson Championships on Friday with a little help from Svetlana Kuznetsova, and Jelena Jankovic also advanced by routing a tired Caroline Wozniacki.
Kuznetsova beat Elena Dementieva 6-3, 6-2 in their last round-robin match, which secured the American’s passage into the knockout round.
Dementieva would have advanced with a win but was dominated by her fellow Russian, less than 24 hours after a straight-set loss to Serena Williams on Thursday.
Venus, Kuznetsova and Dementieva all finished with one win and two losses in the Maroon Group, but the American won more sets. Serena won all three of her matches.
