Serena to play Dementieva in Australian Open semis
MELBOURNE, Australia - Serena Williams was having what she called an "out-of-body experience" Wednesday in brutal heat at the Australian Open. Closing the Rod Laver Arena roof and cranking up the air conditioning helped the defending champion pull herself together and advance to the semifinals -- but left her opponent steaming. "I felt I was watching someone play in a blue dress, and it wasn't me, because it was so hot out there," said the second-ranked American, who beat Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova 5-7, 7-5, 6-1. "And I kept trying to tell myself that it's not hot. But it got hotter."
