No it isn't! The schedule was too long to complete in a reasonable time, so Anne's match has been shunted to Wednesday 4th match (after a second round match between Voegele and Kerber). The winner will play Rodina
Draw has opened up for her as well as the other seed in the quarter was replaced by LL Margit Ruutel (WR 170). She has certinaly taken advantage of the LL though by reaching the QF (So will play winner of Anne's match)
""Keothavong - Manasieva. 1st set went on serve for first 8 games, until Anne broke for *5-4. Since then she never really looked back and in the 2nd set she really was on fire. Especially she defended phenomenally well. Both hit flat & hard, I would say Vesna hits harder, but she takes too much risks at times and she missed many shots she shouldn't have. As the match went on she kept on grunting louder and louder. Anne was 5-1* 0-15 up and then hit a terrible dropshot that barely reached the net. It kind of spurred Vesna on and she even had a BP for *3-5, but Anne saved it with an ace (she really served well today, around 10 aces) and 2 BH UEs followed to see her through 64 62. Anne should take out Margit if she plays like she did today."
Doubles QF:
Bychkova/Kleybanova (RUS) d. Anderson/Keothavong (RSA/GBR) 64 64
