Maria is continuing her run in Memphis as she had another straight set victory. In tonight's match, Maria defeated Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the United States 6-1 6-1 to reach the quarters.
After the win Maria said: “I wanted to stay consistent but aggressive at the same time. Bethanie has taken me to three sets before. I knew I had to play great tennis to beat her. I did a good job of not letting her get into her zone.”/p>
In the quarters to be played on Thursday, Maria will play #8 seed Elena Baltacha of Great Britain and they have never played before. This match is the 2nd match in the night session and the session begins at 19.00 local time (20.00 ET, 19.00 PT & 2.00 CET).
