Rome, Italy, 19 May 2017 | Reuters
Daria Gavrilova has continued her fine claycourt form at the Italian Open with a three-set win over former French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova to power into the quarterfinals.
The 23-year-old Australian, who had to qualify for this tournament after missing the cut-off date to register her entry for the main draw, prevailed over the world No.8 2-6 7-5 6-4.
World No 33 Gavrilova has beaten American Madison Keys, runner-up last year, and Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia this week on her way to booking her spot in the last eight.
