Intro:
Casey Dellacqua and Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová both advanced from the Aegon Classic quarter-finals in Birmingham, England, on Friday.
Script:
Casey Dellacqua made light work of her Aegon Classic quarter-final match as she coasted past Kimiko Date-Krumm on Friday.
Australian Dellacqua served out the first set 6-1. The 29-year-old's favourite country is Japan but for Date-Krumm this was no holiday.
The Japanese player struggled again to return serve and Dellacqua took the second set 6-0.
Next up for the Indian Wells quarter-finalist is Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová, the lowest ranked player left in the final four.
The Czech won this point after a volley against fourth seed Kirsten Flipkens before claiming the opening set.
Záhlavová-Strýcová overcame her Belgian opponent in the second set and won 6-4 6-2. The 28-year-old has studied law and this match was an open and shut case.
Záhlavová-Strýcová has never beaten Dellacqua before in what will be their second meeting since Prague two years ago, when the Czech only picked up four games.
