As the first quarterfinalists of the Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic, No. 1 seed Daniela Hantuchova was one of them, along with No. 2 seed Patty Schnyder.
Hantuchova was the first of the seeds to advance, defeating Olga Savchuk for the quartefinal berth in straight sets, 61 75.
"I played a great first set, but in the second my level dropped," Hantuchova said. "I'm pleased with the way I came back from a break down at 5-4 in the second set and won the match. I haven't won too many matches the last couple months and am struggling to find my rhythm; today was a step in the right direction."
Schnyder had a strange but nice finish to her second round match, having a match point against Yuan Meng when it was 6-5 and started raining, but the swiss managed to close it out, 62 75.
"I've never had a rain delay occur at that point; thank God I was match point up and not match point down," Schnyder said. "Yuan served a lot better in the second set and hit closer to the lines. It's tough after such a great US Open to get motivated again so soon. I haven't been home for two months now. But I'm happy to only have doubles tomorrow and be in the quarterfinals on Friday."
