Marion Bartoli will face the challenge of Elena Vesnina on Friday in a crucial quarter-final clash at the Kremlin CupYou can watch and bet on the action from the WTA Moscow Open at bet365World No. 9 Marion Bartoli has been handed a glimmer of hope in her bid to qualify for the WTA Championships in Istanbul, as Agnieszka Radwanska crashed out of the Kremlin Cup in round two. If Bartoli wins the competition now, she’ll leapfrog Radwanska in the rankings just in time for the tournament.
Bartoli isn’t the favourite to win this year’s Kremlin Cup, but she was in impressive form in the second round where she beat Ksenia Pervak 6-1, 6-1. Her serve was broken once by Pervak, but her return game was impeccable, and she took 8 of 14 break point opportunities.
Bartoli will now take on Elena Vesnina of Russia for a place in the semi-finals. Bartoli has won her last three matches against the world No. 64, including a 6-4, 6-1 success in Hobart this season. Vesnina has gotten the better of Bartoli in the past, and she has a 2-3 match record against her, but Bartoli seems to be the clear favourite this time around.
