HOBART, Australia, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Tsvetana Pironkova earned a three-set upset win Wednesday to gain a quarterfinal berth at the Moorilla Hobart International tennis tournament in Australia.
Pironkova cashed in seven of her 12 break point opportunities in a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory over third-seeded Klara Zakopalova. Pironkova saved just one of the seven break points she faced but only one of those came in the third set when she had three breaks of her own.
