Victoria Azarenka vs Anna Kalinskaya
Kalinskaya is through to her first WTA 500 quarterfinal, having previously reached this round at eight WTA 250 events. The 24-year-old bounced back with aplomb less than 24 hours later to see off the former World No.1 in a tick under two hours.
Kalinskaya won the last three games of a tight opening set, and 12 of the last 13 points, before saving a set point en route to winning the match in 1 hour and 59 minutes. She failed to serve out victory at 6-4, 5-4, and held to force a tiebreak after Azarenka had a chance to extend the match.
Ons Jabeur vs Caroline Dolehide
No.2 seed Ons Jabeur is through to the quarterfinals at the Credit One Charleston Open for the second year running after a 6-3, 7-5 win over American wildcard Caroline Dolehide in Thursday’s third round.
With wins over Lesia Tsurenko in Round 2 and now Dolehide, Jabeur has won back-to-back matches for the first time since she reached the semifinals of the Adelaide International 1 in January.
Last year’s finalist in Charleston, and a quarterfinalist now for three years in a row, Jabeur came from a break down in the both sets en route to beating Dolehide in 1 hours and 21 minutes.
Jessica Pegula vs Irina Begu
No.1 seed Jessica Pegula battled back from 4-0 down in the final set to outlast No.15 seed Irina-Camelia Begu 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 and make the Credit One Charleston Open quarterfinals on Thursday.
Pegula was in the Round of 16 in Charleston for the fourth time in her career, but she had never previously made it to the elite eight of the event. That all changed with her 2-hour and 30-minute win over Begu, although she had to survive many twists and turns to get there.
American No.1 Pegula will face No.12 seed Paula Badosa of Spain in the quarterfinals on Friday. Badosa moved into the Charleston quarterfinals for the third year running with a 6-1, 6-3 defeat of Diana Shnaider in 1 hour and 22 minutes.
