Paris ? Anastasia Myskina, red flower in hand, acceped congratulations for her 6-2, 6-2 victory over Jennifer Capriati in Thursday’s semifinals at the French Open.

Myskina received a kiss on the cheek from Olga Morozova, the last Russian woman to play for a Grand Slam title, 30 years ago — and the coach of Saturday’s other finalist, Elena Dementieva.

The No. 9-seeded Dementieva beat No. 14 Paola Suarez 6-0, 7-5 in a match filled with 17 double-faults and 69 unforced errors.

There will be an all-Russian major final for the first time, assuring the country of its first female Slam champion.

Capriati had 36 unforced errors to only 11 winners.

“I was just having a bad day,” said Capriati, 3-9 in major semifinals dating to a loss to Monica Seles at 14 in the 1990 French Open.

She trailed 0-3, 0-40 within 10 minutes and didn’t recover, unable to find the range on the sixth-seeded Myskina’s slower shots.

The Russian showed no nerves in her first major semifinal, compiling points streaks in which she won 13 of 14, 10 of 11, and 12 of 14. Normally a top returner, Capriati never solved Myskina’s soft serve, spraying balls in the net, wide or long.

“She’s hitting serves what, like, 50 mph?” said Capriati, a three-time major champion, including the 2001 French Open. “Usually, I should be able to just take those shots and hit winners, but nothing was going in today.”
