ZIMBABWE’S tennis ace Cara Black and her partner Marina Erakovic of New Zealand are through to the women’s doubles quarter-finals of the 4 million euro Madrid Open following a second straight sets win.
REPORT BY SPORTS REPORTER
The unseeded pair were too good for the wildcard duo of Serb Jelena Jankovic and German Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, winning 6-3 6-0.
They served impressively as was the case in Monday’s first-round win over Frenchwoman Alize Cornet and Italian Francesca Schiavone.
Cara and Erakovic are likely to meet top seeds Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka of Czech Republic who were set to meet the unseeded pair of Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova and Italian Flavia Pennetta yesterday evening.
