Williams reaches last eight in Zurich
Venus Williams fought off hard challenge from Serbian schoolgirl Ana Ivanovic on Thursday to reach the Zurich Challenge tennis quarter-finals. The American former world number one defeated the 16-year-old 7- 6, 7-6 to set up a harder clash against Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova in the next round. Earlier third seed Elena Dementieva came through a scrappy battle with Russian Fed Cup team mate Elena Bovina 7-5, 3-6, 6-0. Switzerland's Patty Schnyder cruised past Colombia's Fabiola Zuluaga 6-4, 6-3. The 10th seed will now meet Argentina's Paola Suarez in the last eight. |
