Second seed Caroline Wozniacki and Elena Vesnina won their semifinal matches at the Pilot Pen Tennis presented by Schick, which were moved indoors due to pouring rain in New Haven.

The world No.9 Wozniacki beat third seed Flavia Pennetta by winning eighth of the nine games after being tied at 4-4 in the first set. The world No.32 Vesnina upset eighth seed Amelie Mauresmo in the semifinals, recovering from a tight first set loss to win 5-7 6-1 6-2. By beating the victor over top seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, Vesnina made her second upset of the tournament (after beating ninth seed Samantha Stosur in the second round).

Vesnina will play only her second career final on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, at the same time her second this season, while Wozniacki will play her 11th singles final, and seventh this season.

Flavia Pennetta and Caroline Wozniacki, who seems to be the most popular player for the Sony Ericsson stunts, kick started the Pilot Pen Tennis tournament by playing tennis on a historic American football stadium.

The largest tennis court in the world was laid out inside the Yale Bowl and Wozniacki and Pennetta ran tennis balls down the football field.

"If only all tennis courts were as large as the one at Yale Bowl today, then all of our balls will be sure to go in," said the world No.9 Wozniacki after the extraordinary match.

This is the third stunt created by Sony Ericsson this summer. Last week Ana Ivanovic and Caroline Wozniacki stopped traffic to play in one Toronto street, while Kim Clijsters and Elena Dementieva played in the middle of a fountain. (source: Sony Ericsson WTA Tour)

Caroline Wozniacki, 19, one of the most attractive women's tennis players of today (not that we need a proof but Stella McCartney wouldn’t have signed her for nothing), had enough courage to make a television appearance and have a look at her interview when she was a 13-year-old with a mouth full, and I mean full, of braces.

I’m sure you know how tough it can be to watch your past photos and videos. Congrats to Caroline, she’s sending a good message to the kids.

And all of you avoiding braces, if Caroline didn't convince you that your image won't be ruined forever, this video of another tennis beauty Ana Ivanovic will do the trick.
