Boots, Mono, Gypsey, CanWoz, Dushevina, A-Rad, Makarova, and AMG. These are your quarterfinalists at Eastbourne, a WTA Premier tournament and Wimbledon warmup. Lena, Sam, Chak, Jay Z, and Momo all out today. Nads and Nails had to retire with injuries. Tough luck.
I don't mean to belittle the players that are left (go Boots, CanWoz, and A-Rad!) but this tourney sure took a hit on the marquee today.
