The 28-year-old has dropped only five games in four sets during the opening two rounds and next faces American 31st seed Varvara Lepchenko on Friday for a spot in the last 16. Casey Dellacqua has been eliminated after squandering a massive second-set lead against French Open winner Li Na.

She returned in 2009 and won again before repeating the dose in 2010.
