Only four players remain in the $600,000 WTA Bali Hard Court event and with the surprise withdrawel of Marion Bartoli of France then it is anyones guess who will walk away with the first prize winners purse. The standard of tennis has been pretty good so far with some exciting matches in what has been a relative sprint event.

Germany's Sabine Lisicki has looked impressive so far and she will shape up well for her semi-final against Anabel Medina-Garrigues who was the lucky player to benefit from the withdrawel of Bartoli.

The other semi-final will be tough to call with the 2010 winner Ana Ivanovic taking on the equally impressive Nadia Petrova. Both players looked pretty good and at ease in their first round matches but it is safe to say that all of the girls are having a great time in some very pleasant surroundings.
