After another rainy day in Birmingham, Maria is finally through to the quarters after she defeated Alla Kudryavtseva of Russia 6-3 6-1 in 1 hour and 4 minutes.
Maria started the match slowly as she was down 1-3, and at that point Maria reeled off 5 straight games to take the set 6-3.
It was more of the same in the second set as Maria stamped her authority on the match as she dropped only 1 game.
In the quarters to be played on Friday, Maria will be up against Sesil Karatantcheva of Kazakhstan. Maria has played Karatantcheva 3 times before and leads the series 3-0 - but the last match was at Wimbledon nearly 5 years ago which Maria won 6-0 6-1 and that was their only match on grass. This match will be played at 11.00 local time (12.00 CET, 6.00ET & 3.00PT).
