No. 3 seed
Patty Schnyder finally found a chink in top-seeded Justine Henin-Hardenne's armor Saturday in the semifinals at the WTA claycourt stop in Charleston, beating the Belgian for the first time in seven career meetings 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the final at the Family Circle Cup.
"I had control of the match in the first set. I was playing pretty well and then I lost a bit of my concentration for a few games," Henin-Hardenne told reporters. "Then the match turned completely and she was having control of the points."
In the final the Swiss will face No. 2 seed
Nadia Petrova, who cruised past No. 6 Anna-Lena Groenefeld 6-1, 6-3, putting her one match win from a second consecutive title after Amelia Island.
