The quarterfinal's saw the 1st batch of top 10 talent leave the tournament
(Rank/Seed)
1/1 Azarenka withdrew citing fatigue that caused her dizziness yesterday. This gives Kerber free passage into the semifinals
9/8 Stosur defied the odds to take out (2/2) Sharapova 64 76(10). Stosur had won only 1 match in 11 previous meetings against Sharapova, so entered as an underdog. Despite leading by a break in both sets, Sharapova was guilty of too many unforced errors. Stosur almost let the match slip, choking on her 1st 4 match points in the tiebreak. However, she saved a set point and got her 2nd win in the last 3 meetings against Maria
3/3 Radwanska was too solid for her close friend (11/10) Wozniacki 64 63, snapping her 8 match winning streak
18/17 Petrova recovered from no where to beat (7/6) Errani. Trailing 63 41, all looked lost for the Russian. Yet, after breaking the Italian's serve for the 1st time to get back on serve at 4-3, Petrova turned it up a notch, pulling through 26 75 63 to make her biggest semifinal since Beijing 2009
