Wimbledon Champion Garbie Mougrussa (Spain) qualified for the quarterfinals of the Australian city of Sydney with a prize pool of 799, 000 dollars, but eventually stopped participating in the race due to a problem in the right thigh.

The lead in the Mugurusa circuit took over in the second round over the Dutch Kiki Bertens with 6:3, 7:6 (6), but after the fight she said she felt pain and gave up because she did not want to risk further before startingon Monday Australia Open. Thus, the next rival of the Spanish - Darya Gavrilova, qualified without a game for the semi-finals.




The Australian competitor, Gavrilova, won in the second round the local favorite and vice-champion from 2005 Samantha Stoser with 6:4, 6:2. Italian Qualifier Camilla Giorgi surprises the day after eliminating Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic) champion by 7:6 (7), 6:2. Kvitova served for the first part in a 6:5 game, but broke down, then the tiebreak had setball at 6:5 points, but also failed to realize it. In the second part, Georgie probed early and had no problems until the end. Thus the Italian will play in the quarterfinals against the winner of the 2013 tournament Agnieszka Radvanska (Poland). Radvanska, last season`s finalist in Sydney, managed today with 7:6 (4), 6:0 qualifier Katherine Belis (USA).
