STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Russian Maria Kirilenko beat sixth-seeded Shahar Peer of Israel 6-4, 6-3 on Thursday at the Bank of the West Classic.

The 16th-ranked Peer became the first seeded player to fall at the event, losing for the fourth time in her last six matches after opening the year 18-5, which included a three-set win over Kirilenko in New Zealand.

The 27th-ranked Kirilenko continued her fine season and is assured of her best finish at Stanford in three trips.

She’s also had her career best results at the Australian Open, when she reached the quarterfinals, the French Open when she made the fourth round, and at Wimbledon, when she was eliminated in the third round.
