Oeiras

Singles – Quarterfinal: (3) Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova def. (7) Elena Vesnina 6-3 6-7(3-7) 7-6(7-3)
This was every bit as tough as it looked — and extremely disappointing for Elena Vesnina, who led 2-0 to start the third set. She was defending finalist points, so she is out of the Top Thirty; her Roland Garros seed is in grave danger. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova will be #19 no matter what happens after this — and, of course, she will be very tired.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (4) Carla Suarez Navarro def. Monica Puig 6-2 6-4
Carla Suarez Navarro still has points to defend, but with this, her Top 25 spot is secure.

Singles – Quarterfinal: Romina Oprandi def. Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-2 6-2
Svetlana Kuznetsova has shown in her comeback that she can still beat almost anyone — but she really does seem to have developed a problem with stamina. Or, at least, with late rounds. She remains stuck around #40; Romina Oprandi has now clinched a Top Fifty spot.

Singles – Quarterfinal: Kaia Kanepi def. Ayumi Morita 6-4 6-3
Somehow, Kaia Kanepi keeps winning here. One more victory and she will stay Top Fifty. And she faces an exhausted Pavlyuchenkova next.

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (2) H Chan/Mladenovic def. Bratchikova/Lepchenko 6-2 6-1

Doubles – Quarterfinal: Kudryavtseva/Rodionova def. Klemenschits/Piter 6-0 7-5

Doubles – Semifinal: (4) Jurak/Marosi def. (1) Kops-Jones/Spears 3-6 6-1 10-8
The clay was probably the biggest factor in this, but Kops-Jones/Spears are having trouble keeping up their form of last year.
