Three of the quarter finals played today saw an expected outcome, whilst the other saw a minor upset.
(Rank/Seed)
4/1 Radwanska avenged a loss at last year's US Open to (16/-) Vinci 75 64, coming from 1-3 down in the second set. Using an aggressive game against a dogged opponent, she dropped serve once en route to winning her 7th straight match of the year.
5/2 Kerber edged qualifier Kuznetsova 63 75, once again being forced to recover from a second set lull. Falling 1-4 behind, she relied on some brilliant shots down the line to get her back, hitting 37 winners in total! Still, for Svetlana it's been a brilliant week, winning 6 matches; 4 of them going the distance.
15/- Cibulkova pulled off the only upset of the day, thrashing (7/3) Errani 62 61. It was her 16th top 10 win, but not surprising considering her 4 wins out of 5 against the Italian on hard courts. Now of course, it's 5 out of 6 as Errani was once again beaten by a powerful Slovak.
6/4 Li came from behind to defeat qualifier Keys 46 76(2) 62. Struggling against the Americans big serves, Li upped her game in the breaker before pulling away. She has now won 8 straight matches and as she's playing Radwanska next, one of them will incur their first loss of the year.
