(2) Maria Sharapova (RUS) d. (5) Angelique Kerber (GER) 60 30 ret. (right foot injury)
Right foot injury? Kerber quits while looking relatively fine as Sharapova played unbelievable tennis. She absolutely demolished Kerber, who was running around fine before she came up with this "injury". Maybe what was injured was her ego. If Sharapova brings this form towards the YEC, she might have a good chance of winning it. However, she somehow just cannot conjure this form against Azarenka and Serena Williams. Sharapova will face Chinese hopeful Li in the semi-finals, and the Russian needs to defeat Li and the crowd.
(7) Li Na (CHN) d. (3) Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) 64 62
Agnieszka Radwanska is held together by bandages and tapes, so it's no wonder she collapses against a healthy Li playing in front of her home crowd. Radwanska was her normal defensive self but Li refused to miss as she shook off her poor form in her previous match. Radwanska needs to rest because she has played too many unnecessary tournaments this year and her body is breaking down fast. As for Li, if she can continue this form, the next match against Sharapova will be a blockbuster showcase of hard hitting tennis.
