BALI, Indonesia, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Top-seeded Jelena Jankovic and Lindsay Davenport each claimed quarterfinal slots Thursday in the $225,000 Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic in Indonesia.
The victories mean Jankovic and Davenport will face each other in Friday’s quarterfinals. Jankovic, ranked No. 3 in the world, will be a strong test for Davenport, who is playing her first singles tournament in about a year and who had her first child in June.
Davenport has played well this week, as shown by her 6-1, 6-4 pasting of Julie Ditty on Thursday. Jankovic had only a little more trouble in eliminating Casey Dellacqua, 6-1, 6-4.
The other second-round matches were upsets as qualifier Sorana Cirstea beat third-seeded Patty Schnyder, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5, and Sara Errani took out No. 4-seeded Anabel Medina Garrigues, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4.
Also, seventh-seeded Aiko Nakamura defeated Youlia Fedossova, 6-2, 6-2.
Second-seeded Daniela Hantuchova is to play Ayumi, while Nakamura is paired against Errani and Cirstea is to meet Edina Gallovits in the other quarterfinal matches Friday.
