HALEP VS. LISICKI: No. 3 Simona Halep faces No. 19 Sabine Lisicki in one women's quarterfinal. Both have been a Grand Slam runner-up: Halep lost to Maria Sharapova in the French Open final last month, while Lisicki lost to Marion Bartoli in the Wimbledon final last year. Lisicki had a far tougher go of it in the fourth round Tuesday, overcoming 20 double-faults and a painful right shoulder in a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 victory over Yaroslava Shvedova.
BOUCHARD VS. KERBER: Before the tournament, plenty of folks had their eyes on the potential quarterfinal between past champions Serena Williams and Sharapova. So much for that. Williams lost in the third round, Sharapova in the fourth. Instead, it will be No. 9 Angelique Kerber of Germany (the woman who beat Sharapova) against No. 13 Eugenie Bouchard of Canada (the woman who beat the woman who beat Williams).
