CINCINNATI, OH, USA - The Top 2 seeded teams were bundled out in the doubles semifinals, leaving one veteran pair and one green pair to fight it out for the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open.

Lisa Raymond and Rennae Stubbs, the No.4 seeds, were the first team to move through, upsetting No.1 seeds Liezel Huber and Nadia Petrova, 75 62. Raymond and Stubbs had a rough patch in the first set, losing five of six games to see their 3-0 lead become 4-5 - but didn't have much more trouble.

"We played incredibly solid," Stubbs said after the match. "We served really well, returned great and played well on the important points. We're happy with everything that went on today and very excited about tomorrow."

"It was huge for us to get that first set under our belt before the rain delay," Raymond said. "We're playing well. We made the finals last week too."

"Lisa and I have played so much together, and since Eastbourne we've been really showing our best tennis again," Stubbs added. "We're in great shape, our movement is great and we almost know what the other one is going to do."

Raymond and Stubbs will be going for their second title of the year, after Eastbourne. They are seeking their 34th career title together.
