Say, that was some semifinal between Caroline Wozniacki and Elena Dementieva Friday night in New Haven, yeah?

Pilot Pen may be ending its sponsorship of the U.S. Open’s next-door-neighbor tournament, but at least it’s going out in style.

The Wozniacki/Dementieva match was a total smashathon. The Russian cruised in the first set, while the Dane crushed in the second set. Dementieva served for the match at 5-4 in the third, but Wozniacki wozniacked her to level the match, then leveled Dementieva in the tiebreaker.

It was an excellent display of high-quality tennis. And a harbinger of even better tennis to come at next week’s U.S Open.
