Day 3 Results, Adelaide International: Bencic, Sabalenka through, Kerber retires against Yastremska
WTA
The third day of action at the Adelaide International is complete with the likes of Belinda Bencic, Aryna Sabalenka and Donna Vekic all through to the Quarter-Finals.
Bencic as fourth seed saved a set point in the first set; before defeating Julia Goerges in two tiebreaks to move into the Last Eight. She ended up winning 7-6, 7-6; in one hour 50 minutes.
Vekic came through a tough test against Maria Sakkari. The Greek ace moved through the first set 6-2; but the Croatian came back to claim the next two 7-5, 6-1.
She will next face Dayana Yastremska after Angelique Kerber retired due to a left hamstring injury during the second set of their tie; when the Ukrainian teenager was already leading 6-3, 2-0. It is unsure yet how serious the injury is or whether it is just a precaution with the Australian Open round the corner.
There were also victories for Sabalenka who edged past Bernarda Pera; next up is second seed Simona Halep in what is an excellent prospect for the Quarter-Finals. Also Danielle Rose Collins is through; after easing past fellow American, Sofia Kenin.
