WIMBLEDON, England -- Obviously it's a bit of a surprise to have Amelie Mauresmo in the final four with the Williams sisters and Justine Henin. But all four are great athletes and are capable playing from all parts of the court.

In the semifinals, we'll see a lot of power, net play and serving. We've seen some upsets on the women's side, but it's looking like a repeat of the U.S. Open and French Open finals.

The overall advantage goes to Venus Williams and Justine Henin because they got through to the semifinals early. So that's another advantage to Venus to win the title -- not that she needs an advantage.

SEMIFINALS
Venus Williams (1), United States, vs. Justine Henin (6), Belgium
This is a rematch of last year's final, but Henin has not beaten Venus since last year. She's 0-3 against Venus this year. In the final at Amelia Island, Henin had a couple of match points and big lead but wasn't able to close it out. Then she won the German Open with a couple of big wins over Capriati and Serena.

On Tuesday against Seles, Henin showed she's back to believing in herself. That was really important. When you're young and you lose those close matches, scar tissue can develop. She really played tough on Tuesday when it counted.

Everyone's saying that it's Venus and Serena in the final, but Henin showed that she has a chance to beat Venus if Venus plays below par. Henin is not intimidated easily -- a skill you certainly need when you play either Williams sister.

Given Henin's disappointment at losing in the first round at the French Open, she showed really good character to get through to the semifinals and play Venus again. She didn't let the tennis world doubt her for long.

Venus won easily against Elena Likhovtseva in the quarterfinals. Since dropping a set to Maureen Drake in the third round, Venus has lost only eight games in six sets. I picked her to win it all from the beginning, so I'll stick with that. But I think this will be an even better match than last year's final.
Pick: Venus

Amelie Mauresmo (9), France vs. Serena Williams (2), United States
In the past couple of rounds, Mauresmo has been very impressive in all aspects of her game: looking for the opportunity to come in, serving well, controlling her unforced errors and covering the court well. If she can keep that performance up, it should be a good semifinal with Serena.

Mauresmo is thinking really well on the court. She's changing the position of where she serves on the baseline, moving quickly on the volley and has very good clarity of thought and decision making. You need that in semifinals and finals of tournaments. We'll see if she can keep it up.

Mauresmo has been to the semifinal of a major before, and she seemed totally comfortable on Centre Court against Jennifer Capriati in the quarterfinals Wednesday. You'd have to be pretty brave to pick Mauresmo over Serena -- based on the past nine months rather than the last week or two. But suddenly she becomes part of the equation here, which we've been waiting for based on her talent.
Pick: Serena
