Day four of the MPS Group Championships consisted of some big names. Two of which were Daniela Hantuchova and Caroline Wozniacki. The Slovakian wildcard, Hantuchova faced off against the newly wed eighth seed from America, Bethanie Mattek-Sands. Mattek-Sands was well rested after overcoming a strenuous match against Marion Bartoli a few days earlier, but Hantuchova just played a little bit better than her. Hantuchova won the match, 63 75. I am very happy! Keep it up, Daniela!
Daniela's opponent in the quarterfinals will be the Danish second seed, Caroline Wozniacki. Wozniacki is another player who plays well on all surfaces. And she had a presumably tough encounter with France's Virginie Razzano. But Wozniacki was playing well. And she won the match without too much struggle, 63 75. I am ecstatic to watch this quarterfinal!
The other winners of the day were Canada's fifth seed Aleksandra Wozniak and Austria's Tamira Paszek. Paszek had trouble taking out Varvara Lepchenko, the American lucky loser who defeated Patty Schnyder in the first round. But Paszek came from behind using her beautiful backhands to win the match, 36 63 64.
Aleksandra Wozniak was a surprising winner at The Bank of the West Classic in Stanford by possibly playing her best tennis of her career. Since then, she has not risen to the expectations. But she is playing well on the clay and she struggled immensely to defeat Germany's rising star, Sabine Lisicki. Wozniak conquered with a 36 76(3) 64 win.
Who I Want to Win: Daniela Hantuchova
Who I Think Will Win: Caroline Wozniacki
