CRI听力:Sport - China Open Round Up

2014-10-04来源:CRI

In today's women's singles quarterfinals 9th seed Ana Ivanovic of Serbia beat 2nd seed Romanian Simona Halep.

Australian Samantha Stosur was due to meet No.1 seed Serena Williams of the US, but Williams withdrew from the tournament with a left knee injury.

Stosur, the 2011 US Open winner and former world number four, will now go straight into the semi-finals where she will play Petra Kvitova, who triumphed over Italian Roberta Vinci 7-6, 6-4.

The Czech met some trouble, but managed to win the match in one hour and thirty-six minutes.

Meanwhile, Russian Maria Sharapova beat compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-love, 6-4.

In the men's singles, quarterfinals, World No.1 Novak Djokovic was victorious over Grigor Dimitrov, 6-2, 6-4. Sixth seeded Andy Murray of Great Britain enjoyed success at the expense of Croatian Marin Cilic, 6-1, 6-4.

Djokovic has an incredible 100 percent record at the $5.4 million tournament and was highly emotional on the Diamond Court at China's National Tennis Centre, smashing his racket twice in the second set in frustration.

Djokovic is bidding for his fifth title in Beijing, a tournament he has won every year since 2009 apart from 2011 when he did not take part.

His victory means he will face Briton Andy Murray in the semi-finals in a re-match of their epic US Open quarter-final which Djokovic won 7-6, 6-7, 6-2, 6-4.

The $5.4 million China Open will reach its climax on October 5.
