"I think the difference is going to be that I have a little bit more experience. I've been in a semi-final before. It's her first time."
The 31st-ranked Szavay had not lost a set in her previous four matches but got steamrollered on Wednesday and tipped Kuznetsova to reach the final.
"She has everything, a good serve, a big forehand," said Szavay, playing in only her third grand slam event. "She has a big, big forehand and her backhand is also good. She's tough mentally."
Chakvetadze converted five of eight break points to defeat the 20-year-old Peer for the third time in four meetings.
"I don't have powerful groundstrokes and I just fight until the end and try to play smart," said Chakvetadze.
Peer had become a crowd favourite and the partisan cheering seemed to inspire Chakvetadze.
"I was a little nervous because the crowd was against me, but I thought to myself, 'I will die on this court. I have to win. I have to prove that I can win'," said Chakvetadze.
Peer said she was particularly upset at the loss because she had beaten Chakvetadze at Indian Wells earlier this year.
"I'm disappointed I lost but she was playing good today," she said.
