Ioana Raluca Olaru makes Linz quarter-final

Mirza beat Bartoli (who retired), Schiavone got a walkover and the Woz showdown went down to three before the Dane beat the Canuck. Olaru got a handy win and surprise quarter-final appearance after a marathon effort against Goerges. Her kind draw runs out though as Pennetta looms.

Cornet lost to Radwanska the Elder but Radwanska the Lesser lost to Safarova. Aga will now attempt revenge for her little sister’s beating. Stosur thrashed Morigami.

Davydenko marched on while Wawrinka and Monfils retired. Must be that time of the year. Lopez continued his good form and Djokovic and Nadal cruised. Simon took out Berdych no doubt inspired by Safin’s comments yesterday.

Jones, Bobuscic, Wejnert and Molik made the Semi’s in Port Pirie. Presumably this leads to yet another Jones Molik final.
