Indian Wells

 

Early Matches

Singles – Quarterfinal: (13) Maria Kirilenko def. (5) Petra Kvitova 4-6 6-4 6-3

It looked for all the world as if Petra Kvitova would cruise into the semifinal. But Maria Kirilenko doesn’t seem to get started until about halfway through the second set. That amazing stamina of hers that had earlier allowed her to beat Agnieszka Radwanska kicked in again and won her the second set and gave her a lead of 4-2, then 5-3, in the third. She went down 0-30 as she served for the match, but then won four points in a row — and, of course, the match. That takes Kirilenko up to #13 — and leaves Petra Kvitova at #8.

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (3) Petrova/Srebotnik def. (6) Llagostera Vives/Zheng 6-1 6-2

Petrova/Srebotnik continue to make a claim to being the best team of the year… other than Errani/Vinci.
