Safina reaches semifinal as new No. 1

Stuttgart, Germany -- Dinara Safina, who this week moved to the top of the world rankings in women's tennis, reached the semifinals Friday at the Porsche Grand Prix in Germany.

Safina defeated Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 6-4 to set up a semifinal meeting with unseeded Flavia Pennetta.

Pennetta pulled off the event's biggest surprise by ousting defending champion and former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.

Saturday's other semifinal will send Elena Dementieva against Svetlana Kuznetsova. Dementieva got past former Wimbledon runner-up Marion Bartoli 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 and Kuznetsova defeated Gisela Dulko 6-3, 6-2.
