In the day’s first quarterfinal, LA Women’s Tennis Championships debutante Cirstea reached her second Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles semifinal this year with a hard-fought 7-6 (7-4), 1-6, 7-5 victory over No. 8 seed Agnieszka Radwanska, of Poland. Cirstea, ranked No. 28 in the world, overcame aggravation of her plantar fasciitis in her right foot in the first-set tiebreaker and avenged a 6-0, 6-1 second-round defeat to Radwanska last week in Northern California.

Next opponent for Sorana in the LA semifinals is her French Opean aquaintance.
