Garrigues earns berth in Moroccan quarters

Garrigues, who was the runner-up at this tournament a year ago, rallied to defeat Klara Zakopalova 1-6, 7-6 (7-1), 6-3. In the quarterfinals, Garrigues will meet Lourdes Dominguez Lino -- a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 winner over Anne Keothavong.

No. 2 seed Alisa Kleybanova coasted past Jarmila Groth 6-4, 6-1, but third-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was upset by Melinda Czink 7-6 (7-1), 3-6, 6-3.

Other surprises came when qualifier Polona Hercog defeated seventh-seeded Roberta Vinci 6-2, 6-4 and Lucie Hradecka ousted eighth-seeded Shahar Peer 6-4, 6-1.
