LONDON: Three former world number ones reached the quarterfinals of the Eastbourne championships but a fourth, defending champion Caroline Wozniacki, fell short as she was beaten by eighth seed Aryna Sabalenka on Wednesday.
In a repeat of last year’s final, Wozniacki lost 2-6 6-4 7-6 in a fierce battle with Sabalenka who fought back from 5-2 down in the third set, saving a match point, on the way. German left-hander Kerber continued to thrive on the grass after a tricky clay court season as she blazed past Peterson following a tough first set.
Jelena Ostapenko, a semi-finalist at last year’s Wimbledon, suffered an injury scare as she retired in her match against Ekaterina Alexandrova who moves on to play Pliskova.
