Williams is hoping to end the year in the world's top eight
Wimbledon champion Venus Williams went out of the Bangkok Open with a straight-sets loss to Flavia Pennetta.
Italy's Pennetta held off a Williams fightback to win their semi 6-4 7-6 (10-8) and set up a final against Zi Yan of China or Taiwan's Chan Yung-jan.
The loss leaves Williams' place at the season-ending championships in Madrid for the world's top eight in doubt.
Meanwhile, Serena Williams beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-6 (7/2) 6-1 in the Kremlin Cup semis in Moscow.
She will play Elena Dementieva in the final after the Russian thrashed compatriot Dinara Safina 6-1 6-0.
