Vika started strong and was out-playing the world number 1 to go up a set and 4-0, before Serena found an extra gear and started hitting winners from everywhere.

Vika reached the QF of a Grand Slam for the 3rd time in her career by beating Zvonareva for the first time in her career - even ending the match with a bagel. In all of their encounters Antonio Van Grichen has been on the losing end while Sam Sumyk has been coaching the winner.
