Bacsinszky's horrible break point conversion hands Kuznetsova a place in the Miami final

After posting Karen Helf's semifinal report from the Miami Open grounds, I'd like to share my view of the first women's semifinal at the tournament. Karen missed the first set of the match, while I watched it on TV, so I can complete the picture about the match.

World No.19 Svetlana Kuznetsova defeated Timea Bacsinszky, ranked one spot below her, 7-5 6-3 in the Miami Open semifinals, and is now just one step away from winning her first title at the tournament since 2006.

In the first set, Bacsinszky was overall even a better player in many departments, including her differential of winners to unforced errors (Kuznetsova -6, Bacsinszky +2), but her good moments were not distributed well, especially on break points, as she converted none of five, and Kuznetsova took the first set 7-5.
