The quarter finals were completed today and set up an exclusive top 10 semifinal line up
(Rank/Seed)
1/1 Azarenka cruised past number 69 Oprandi 62 60, converting all 6 of her break points to reach her 1st Beijing semi final
2/2 Sharapova was scintillating against (6/5) Kerber, leading 60 30 when Kerber unexpectedly retired with an unapparent ankle injury. Sharapova was in complete control throughout and Kerber's immediate departure raised questions about the legitimacy of her withdrawal. Sharapova's now into her 1st semi in Beijing since 2005!
8/7 Li wowed the home crowd in beating the defending champion A. Radwanska 64 62. Li had already beaten Radwanska twice this summer, losing just 5 games in 4 sets and once again controlled the rallies from the back, hitting over 30 winners to just 21 unforced errors. Radwanska did a valiant job of defending but looked jaded the more the match wore on. Li is now into her 2nd semi final in Beijing
10/9 Bartoli survived Suarez Navarro 60 26 64, coming from 0-3 down in the 3rd to reach her 1st semi final since Carlsbad in the early summer and 2nd in Beijing
