Bulgaria's best tennis player Tsvetana Pironkova scored one of the most precious victories in her career after beating fifth-seeded and former Olympic champion, Russian Elena Dementieva.
The Bulgarian breezed into the quarter-finals in Warsaw Open women's singles second round after overwhelming the Russian with 7:5, 4:6, 6:4, her fifth victory in a row. The winner of the tournament will pocket USD 600,000.
The match brought Pironkova USD 15 1000 and a whopping 140 points in the world ranking, where she currently stands at number 100.
Meanwhile top-seeded Maria Sharapova cruised into the quarterfinals of the Strasbourg International with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Bulgarian qualifier Dia Evtimova.
Sharapova, given a wild-card entry after two months out with a right elbow injury, didn't face a single break point to claim her second victory on clay this year.
