The first three matches were a clear matter for Muchova, Linette and Wang. All 3 players handled their opponents smoothly in two sets and lost only 4 or 5 games on their way to the quarterfinals.
More interesting was the last match of the fourth day. Buzarnescu won the first set with Blinkova 6-1 and it looked like Romanian was the next player to walk up to the quarterfinal.
But in the second set, the Russian fought back and won it 6-3. In the third set, the course was repeated and Blinkova won again 6-3 and added her name to the quarter-finals list.
In the quarterfinals, we will be able to see 8 players from 7 different countries. The only country with multiple representations is the Czech Republic.
Siniaková does already have an experience with her rival Pera when they met twice on the circuit and in both cases, Czech player managed to win.
This is not to be said of Muchova and Linette, and Wang and Blinkova. These players have not yet met and it will be their first meeting.
Giorgi and Cornet have had the longest history, playing most matches against each other in 2014. The record is in favor of Giorgi 3-2, but Alizé has won both games that were played on a hard surface.
