Brussels

Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) Agnieszka Radwanska def. (WC) Alison Van Uytvanck 6-2 6-1

Still not much energy expended by Agnieszka Radwanska — but still no points gained, either. The next match will count, but not enough to make any real difference.

Singles – Quarterfinal: Simona Halep def. (4) Dominika Cibulkova 6-0 4-6 6-3

This was the late singles match, and it took about two hours plus a rain delay. Will that affect Simona Halep in the semifinal? She is at about #42 — and would rise to about #37 with a final.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (8) Kaia Kanepi def. Tsvetana Pironkova 6-3 6-1

Tsvetana Pironkova earned enough points that she will probably hit the Top Forty — but with no margin to spare; if Halep makes the final, then Pironkova will be #41.

Singles – Quarterfinal: Sofia Arvidsson def. (Q) Urszula Radwanska 7-5 6-4

Is Sofia Arvidsson actually mastering clay? That would be a nice accomplishment for this stage of her career. Unfortunately, she is in a tough spot in the rankings, but this will probably take her above #60.

Doubles – Quarterfinal: Bondarenko/Niculescu def. Jurak/Marosi 6-1 7-6(7-2)

Doubles – Semifinal: (4) Mattek-Sands/Mirza def. Dellacqua/Rodionova 6-3 4-6 10-5 (Match TB)

A week ago, Bethanie Mattek-Sands was down to #59 in doubles. She rose to #53 this week. With this, she will be firmly back in the Top Fifty.

Strasbourg

Singles – Quarterfinal: (2) Francesca Schiavone def. Johanna Larsson 6-0 6-3

This should take Francesca Schiavone to #13. If she can make the final, she will be #12.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (WC) Alize Cornet def. (4) Anabel Medina Garrigues 7-6(7-2) 7-6(7-5)

Could Alize Cornet finally be coming back to life? She costs Anabel Medina Garrigues the chance to return to the Top Thirty.

Singles – Quarterfinal: Pauline Parmentier def. (Q) Alexandra Panova 6-3 6-3

And, with this, we are guaranteed a French finalist, because Pauline Parmentier faces Cornet next. This takes Parmentier to around #60; a final would leave her a little below #50.

Singles – Quarterfinal: Sloane Stephens def. Ayumi Morita 6-3 6-4

This will take Sloane Stephens to probably just below #70. And if she is doing this on clay, what will she do on hardcourts?

Doubles – Semifinal: (2) Govortsova/Jans-Ignacik def. Cadantu/Keothavong 6-2 6-1

Roland Garros
