STANFORD, Calif. -- Olga Govortsova, ranked 83rd in the world, ended a frustrating run of results with a convincing 6-2, 6-4 victory over No. 2 seed Samantha Stosur in the second round at the Bank of the West Classic on Tuesday. Govortsova won back-to-back matches for the first time this season. She had lost seven of her previous eight entering the tournament. "It helped that I had the extra match and I played four matches in World Team Tennis last weekend," Govortsova said. "I dont think she has played since Wimbledon." The 25-year-old Belarussian beat Germanys Julia Goerges in straight sets in the first round. Govortsova earned her ninth win over a top-20 opponent and her first since beating Agnieszka Radwanska via retirement at New Haven last year. This is also the first time she has reached a quarterfinal round this season. Stosur, ranked 13th, reached the third round at Wimbledon. The Australian was knocked out in the first round for the first time since early May -- a span of five tournaments. "She was playing quite well and I wasnt able to combat what she was able to do," Stosur said. "Things were slowly turning around, and I had a break to go 5-5. I gave myself a chance to get back into the match but I had to win that last game." Stosur had 10 double faults, including two in a row at one point. "That didnt set a good tone for the match," she said. "It is inexcusable to get that many in one match." Seventh-seeded Urszula Radwanska downed American Christina McHale, 6-1, 6-3 while Daniela Hantuchova beat Yanina Wickmayer 6-2, 4-6, 6-0, in their first-round match.
