Solid results all around for the ladies today, though not without drama. Dina bageled Lucie in the first only to have to come from a break down in the third to get through. Agnes held her nerve against a gimpy Vika to come back and eventually convert one of the many match points she had in the third (she was up 5-0). Joining Agnes as a surprise quarterfinalist is A-Bond, who served up a bagel, weathered the Chakky storm in the second, and closed it out in the third, 63.
Meanwhile, JJ and Boots are quietly making their way through the draw with straight set wins. The win boosts Boots into the top 10 for the first time.
