Tokyo Day 4 with Zheng, Boulter & Kasatkina | WTA Match Highlights

Sophia Kennin, from whatever you can do, I can do. Now this one, it is taken. A bit of frustration for Sophia Kennin, but Clara Townsend, she was knocking on the door, and eventually takes the set. On serve, this deciding set so far, Kennin. Oh, that's majestic. Strike at the very highest order from Kennin. And she keeps on coming. Brilliant stuff on the backhand from Kennin. And this time, it does go the way of Kennin. A brilliant match, finishing on a double fault. A three-hour tussle between these two. And Sophia Kennin comes up with a big, big win. She is into her first quarterfinal of the season. The Americans smiling in Tokyo. Three sets gets it done. Effectively comes through that gate. Steered into that open space. It was just well worked. Very no-nonsense from Kessler. Putting her under more sustained pressure. Quickly up to it. It is Daria Kasikina moving on to the last eight in Tokyo. Had to dig deep in this one. She reached the quarterfinals here 12 months ago. And she has reached that stage once again this time around. In good form right now. Back in the world's top ten. And back in the quarterfinals here at the Toripan Pacific Open. Oh, nicely handled. She's a little unlucky there. Bolters court coverage so good though. Second serve is getting bullied as well. Yeah, you cannot leave it short against Bolter. She'll construct a point like that. What a finish! Fantastic combination from Katie Bolter. In a lightning quick set. 28 minutes this all has taken. For her to win it by six games to one. Just kept coming with that forehand. It's going to be another quarterfinal for Katie Bolter. A clinical performance from her to date. She's back in the last eight for the first time since eSport. It's been a week to remember for Kiyoki Okamura. But her run ends in round two. And it's Bolter who takes her place. In the Tokyo quarterfinal lineup. And thoroughly deserving too. Of that win today. In a little over an hour. Yeah, nicely controlled. Pretty strong down the line. Using the line forehand again. Made it. Early break. That's a beauty. Lovely point from start to finish from Jen Kim Wen. That's found the line. Pinpoint perfection. It's been a stunning finish for Jen Kim Wen. She won the last nine games of the contest. Uchijima made her serve to stay in the opening set. But it simply stung her into action. Scintillating. From the world number seven. And into the quarterfinals in Tokyo as a result. She found a stellar level for the last set and a bit. That will send a message to the rest of the field.
