Williams had been beaten the last four times she reached the French Open quarterfinals, most recently in 2010. The 15-time Grand Slam champion, who is ranked No. 1, won her only Roland Garros title in 2002. "I just got tired of losing in the quarters," she said. "I was so determined to get through that, and I really, really, really, really wanted it more than I think anyone. So I think that kind of helped." Against Kuznetsova, Williams overcame an inconsistent serve, erratic groundstrokes and a 2-love deficit in the final set, winning five consecutive games and then closing the victory with a forehand winner and a scream. "Yes!" she hollered. It was the first real test of the tournament for Williams, who lost 10 games after losing a total of 10 games in her four earlier matches. She laughed at herself, screamed at herself, violently shook her unco-operative racket and cocked it over her heaad, threatening to fling it before she changed her mind.dddddddddddd Williams finally found a way out of her funk -- and into the semifinals. She extended her career-best winning streak to 29 consecutive matches. In a post-match on-court interview, Williams seemed spent. "Im very happy to have won this quarterfinal because the whole night I was afraid of my quarterfinal match," she told the crowd in French. "It was a very tough match today, but its good for me because, I dont know, but its very good. I am exhausted." Kuznetsova said strained an abdominal muscle early in the tournament, which hampered her serve, but her aggressive returns kept pressure on Williams. "I did push her to the limit I think today, even without my serve," Kuznetsova said. "I was serving like, I dont know, a grandmother." Williams is the first American woman to reach the French Open semifinals since Jennifer Capriati in 2004. Her opponent Thursday will be 2012 runner-up Sara Errani, who advanced by beating No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 7-6 (6). Williams is 5-0 against Errani. ' ' '
