The top women have been doing very well lately. At the Premier 5 in Doha last month, seven of the top eight seeds reached the quarter finals, and here they've done it again; the one surprising exception being Radwanska!
(Rank/Seed)
2/1 Azarenka was bothered by a bad ankle, but it didn't detract from her comfortable win over Urszula Radwanska 63 61 to reach her fourth career quarter final here.
3/2 Sharapova overcame a tough first set to beat Arruabarrena Vecino 75 60, reaching her sixth quarter final here.
4/3 Radwanska was stunned by close friend (15/13) Kirilenko 61 46 75, having led 3-1 in the third. Kirilenko is always dangerous and just missed out in her last two meetings against the Pole, losing those two 7-5 in the third, but here she got the win to reach a second straight quarter final here. For Agnieszka, it's her first pre quarter final loss of the year!
6/4 Kerber edged a close match against qualifier Muguruza 64 75 to reach her second quarter final in a row here.
7/5 Kvitova made her first quarter final here with a 62 63 win over Zakopalova.
8/6 Errani commanded a 63 62 win over (11/9) Bartoli to reach a first quarter final here.
9/7 Stosur came from behind to edge tough German Barthel 46 62 63 to reach a second quarter final here; a first since 2010!
10/8 Wozniacki came from 3-5 down in the first to edge (12/10) Petrova 76(3) 63, reaching her fifth quarter final here.
