That result leaves the tournament without its top two seeds heading into the quarterfinals. No. 2 seed Polona Hercog was defeated in the opening round by Lourdes Dominguez Lino.

Both the third and fourth seeds made it to the quarterfinals, however.

No. 3 seed Greta Arn survived a difficult match against Renata Voracova for a 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 victory. Fourth-seeded Gisela Dulko advanced with a 6-1, 6-1 decision over Silvia Soler Espinosa.

Medina Garrigues will next meet seventh-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro, who was a 6-4, 6-3 winner over Madalina Gojnea.
