Previews Friday's match between Maria Sharapova of Russia and Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark from the 2011 BNP Paribas Open.
Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki will meet in the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells on Friday in what looks like the blockbuster match of the women's tournament.
Wozniacki is into the semifinals having defeated Victoria Azarenka in the quarters as the Belarussian retired very early in the match. Sharapova had a much tougher time in her quarterfinal match as she was extended to a third set against Shuai Peng of China before prevailing.
Sharapova and Wozniacki have met three times on tour with Sharapova taking down two of their meetings. Wozniacki won their last meeting however in a match that took place in the fourth round of the 2010 US Open.
Importantly, both of Sharapova's wins over Wozniacki are both from 2008, a time before Wozniacki became the player that she is today.
The Order of Play for Friday puts the Wozniacki versus Sharapova match in Stadium 1 with a start time not before 8pm PT following the Marc Lopez/Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer/Stanislas Wawrinka doubles semifinal.
