Keothavong paired with Safina

Originally published on: 26/02/10 12:29

Keothavong, who is ranked 56th in the world, can at least claim to be in confident mood going into Roland Garros after reaching the semi-finals of the Warsaw Open – the first time a British woman has reached the last four of a clay-court event for 26 years. The 25-year-old will meet Alona Bondarenko for a place in the final.

Her improvement on clay will be tested again next week when she meets Russian Safina, the top player in the world.
