Inspired by the presence of Diego Maradona, Sara Errani won 6-4 6-4 against Sorana Cirstea in 96 minutes to face Nadia Petrova (6-1 6-3 on Suarez Navarro) in the quarters. Head to head is 1-1.
Roberta Vinci had a fine match to upset Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-1 in just 71 minutes. The Italian will play Sam Stosur (6-4 6-0 on Hsieh) in the quarters. Head to head is 1-0 for Sam Stosur.
