The Family Circle Cup has been severely affected by rain and almost all Thursday's matches were postponed until Friday. This meant that some players, Serena included had to double up.
(Rank/Seed)
1/1 Williams handled the whole disruption with aplomb, beating Burdette 64 62 earlier on before emulating last years final victory over (19/6) Safarova 64 61; winning 10 of the last 11 games from 2-4 down in the first.
9/3 Stosur had already retired down 16 0-2 to Bouchard with that serious recent calf injury.
10/2/wc Wozniacki continued her recent slump as she was bundled out in the quarterfinals by world number 63 Voegele 36 64 63. Wozniacki had received a third round bye after Petkovic withdrew injured, whilst Voegele battled past seeded Suarez Navarro and then Goerges in three sets. She ultimately executed her strategy to move the Dane around effectively; recovering from 1-3 down in the third to ultimately win five straight games and claim her first top 10 win. Pervak, Kuznetsova, Wang, Muguruza, Voegele; all non top 60 players at the time who've beaten Wozniacki so far this year. Her slump continues!
