Tamara Zidansek has become the first Slovenian woman to reach the quarterfinals of a major tournament. She did so by winning 7-6 (4), 6-1 against Romanian Sorana Cirstea, who was also unseeded here. Zidansek dropped to her knees and held her head in her hands after winning on her first match point with a forehand winner. Prior to the tournament the 23-year-old Zidansek had never even beaten a top 10-ranked player.
