TORONTO (AP) — Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Sara Errani 7-6 (1), 7-5 Friday to reach the semifinals of the Rogers Cup.
Radwanska, seeded third, will play the winner of the late match between top-seeded Serena Williams and Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia.
In other quarterfinals, fourth-seeded Li Na of China faces Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia and defending champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic takes on Sorana Cirstea of Romania.
Radwanska gained a measure of revenge against Errani, an Italian seeded fifth. Errani eliminated Radwanska in the quarterfinals of this year’s French Open.
In the first set, Radwanska took the tiebreaker with a drop-shot volley that forced a wide return from Errani. In the second set, the Pole won when Errani returned long on double match point.
