Capriati has had poor results at this tournament in the past but has now finally gotten over them reaching the semi's for the first time in her career.

"I think I've got better and more aggressive" said the American. "Hopefully this is the point where it starts to count".

"I got into a good rhytm because she didn't really change it up at all. She was very predictables, but I think she has potential"
