Belarus world No.4, Azarenka has started off the second encounter as a favourite player and has won the first set with 6-4 against the New Zealand player, Marina Erakovic.

In the second and third set, Marina has bounced back into the game giving a tough competition to the top seeded player and won the match with 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.

While, the fourth seed, Samantha Stosur, who had a disappointing season was thrashed out against the 2011 Wimbledon semifinalist, Sabine Lisicki with a score line of 6-3, 7-5.

Japan’s Ayumi Morita battled past Polish qualifier, Urszula Radwanska to enter into the quarterfinals of the tournament with 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.
