By Simon Cambers
INDIAN WELLS, California, March 18 (Reuters) - Fourth seed Vera Zvonareva became the first woman to reach the semi-finals of the WTA event in Indian Wells on Wednesday, beating ninth seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 6-4 6-2.
Zvonareva, who reached the last four at the Australian Open in January, won a tight first set and then eased through the second.
The Russian will now play either top seed and compatriot Dinara Safina or eighth seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.
