Number 5 seed Patty Schnyder had to work to defeat Alisa Kleybanova, 7-6, 6-4, and number 6 seed Marion Bartoli had her work cut out, too. She defeated Anne Keothavong, 6-3, 1-6, 7-5.

Interesting tournament for both Wozniak and Stosur.

Wozniak defeats Stosur in qualifying, but then the Australian makes it into the draw as a lucky loser when Davenport pulls out. Both end up stringing together wins in the main draw... and now face each other again in the QF. Stosur gets a second chance, while Wozniak gets that "why-won't-you-stay-dead?" sort of feeling in the pit of her stomach. :)
