Gajdosova reaches quarters in Estoril

Gajdosova, competing under her maiden name once again after the breakdown of her marriage, needed just 69 minutes to book her place in the last eight as she eased to a 6-2 6-4 win over Dellacqua.
The 24-year-old, who broke her opponent's serve six times, will face Monica Niculescu in the next round, after the Romania posted a 6-4 6-4 win over American qualifier Sloane Stephens.
Top seed Alisa Kleybanova also progressed to the quarter-finals despite being forced to recover from a set down before beating Frenchwoman Mathilde Johansson 5-7 6-3 6-2.
The Russian dropped her serve an incredible 10 times before eventually battling past Johansson in just over two-and-a-half hours.
Awaiting Kleybanova in the last eight is Kristina Barrois, the German dispatching sixth seed Elena Vesnina 6-4 6-3.
Greta Arn, the eighth seed, also departed the tournament as she was forced to retire whilst trailing Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-2 1-0.
Claycourt specialist Medina Garrigues will take on third seed Klara Zakopalova in the last eight, the Czech player recovering from a sluggish start to beat Belarussian qualifier Anastasiya Yakimova 2-6 6-4 6-1.
The final quarter-final will be contested between Russian Alla Kudryavtseva and Johanna Larsson, both of whom progressed in straight sets. Kudryavtseva needed a second set tie-break to beat Romina Oprandi of Italy 6-4 7-6(3) while Swede Larsson beat Urszula Radwanska 6-4 6-4.
