Eugenie Bouchard (Westmount, QC) is playing her first tournament since the U.S. Open this week at the Wuhan Open in China. She advanced to the quarter-finals of the WTA Premier 5 event on Wednesday thanks to a 6-2, 6-3 win over American Alison Riske.
Alize Cornet nailed her third win this season over Serena Williams as the American top seed quit with viral illness during her opening second-round match while holding a 6-5 lead. The last to take down Williams three times in the same year was Justin Henin in 2007. Williams said later she felt poorly in a match which was past of a run of upset losses by seeds at the new event.

The Championships’ venue was growing darker, waiting for a Saturday filled with rain to come to an end. (The outer courts have no lights.) The scheduled play had been delayed for most of the day because of the rain. Those last matches were being frantically conducted into the twilight, trying for some catch up.
Now this looks like the Petra Kvitova who won Wimbledon. And she's the only seed left in her half. Make the final and she'll be just below the Top Five; win the title and she's in.
