Hobart International: Gisela Dulko loses in quarterfinals

Anabel Medina Garrigues advanced to the Hobart International semifinals with a 6-1, 5-7, 6-1 win over Gisela Dulko.

Medina Garrigues was up a set and 3-0 in the second when Dulko staged a comeback to take the second set.

“I started playing a few too many short balls which played to Gisela’s strength and allowed her back into the game,” Medina Garrigues said. “The break at the end of the second set allowed me to calm my nerves and in the end I felt I won fairly comfortably.”

Medina Garrigues will play Alona Bondarenko on Friday. Earlier, the fourth-seeded Ukrainian defeated China’s Zheng Jie 7-5, 7-5.

Sara Errani won her quarterfinal over Belgian qualifier Kirsten Flipkens 6-3, 6-4. Errani will play second-seeded Shahar Peer of Israel, who beat fifth-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 4-6, 7-6 (4), 7-5 in a night quarterfinal.

2009 US Open: Kateryna Bondarenko beat Gisela Dulko in 4th round

Kateryna Bondarenko reached the quarterfinal of the US Open after crushing Gisela Dulko 6-0, 6-0.

Late arrivals on Arthur Ashe would have missed the Ukrainian’s 47-minute breeze against an error-strewn opponent who knocked out her seeded older sister Alona in round two.

“I just got some messages to do the revenge for my sister, so I start to think about it when I read the messages,” Bondarenko told reporters.

“I’m surprised that it’s 6-0, 6-0, and I’m really happy that it went that way.”

With no seeds left in the top quarter of the draw, Bondarenko has a golden chance to reach the semifinals of what has been an unpredictable tournament.

She faces a last eight test against Petra Kvitova or Yanina Wickmayer.
