Tennis: Stosur, Radwanska oust qualifiers in WTA tennis   (29/7/2010)

Australian top seed Samantha Stosur and Polish third seed Agnieszka Radwanska advanced to the quarter-finals of the WTA Bank of the West Classic on Wednesday by ousting qualifiers.

Stosur defeated American Christina McHale 6-1, 7-5 in her first match at the 700,000-dollar hardcourt event after an opening-round bye while Radwanska eliminated Ukranian Olga Savchuk 7-6 (7/4), 6-2.

The match was Stosur's first since reaching No. 5 in the world.

"The high ranking feels good," Stosur said. "It was a goal for me to get to No. 10. Once I got to that point, all of a sudden I moved up to No. 5. To have another big jump like that so soon is really pleasing.
