Top seed Kirilenko has high hopes of winning

The quarterfinals for the Hansol Korea Open are set, as four seeds head into the round of eight for a semifinal berth.

Top seed Maria Kirilenko was showing signs of aggressiveness on Thursday, as she won to Czech Lucie Safarova in straight sets, 63 63.

Kirilenko's opponent will be No. 5 seed Pauline Parmentier, who won her second round match to Stephanie Dubois, 63 63, before the rain took place. No. 3 seed Kaia Kanepi won to Anastasia Pivovarova, 61 61, and Yung-Jan Chan failed to pass Yanina Wickmayer, and lost 63 76(2).

On Friday, the bottom half will take play, as No. 2 seed Shahar Peer will battle Jill Craybas, and Ekaterina Makarova will battle Samantha Stosur for a semifinal berth.
