(Sports Network) - Top seeds Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia and Patty Schnyder of Switzerland posted quarterfinal victories Friday at the $225,000 Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic.
The 2007 Bali runner-up Hantuchova held off Taipei's Yung-Jan Chan 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 6-2, while Schnyder handled Poland's Marta Domachowska 6-2, 6-2 on Day 5 at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Bali. Hantuchova lost to American Lindsay Davenport in last year's hardcourt finale here.
Hantuchova's semifinal opponent on Saturday will be Austrian teenager Tamira Paszek, while Schnyder will take on fourth-seeded Russian Nadia Petrova. The 17-year-old Paszek upset third-seeded U.S. Open quarterfinalist Flavia Pennetta of Italy 4-6, 6-0, 6-2, while Petrova pasted fifth-seeded Italian Francesca Schiavone 6-4, 6-3.
The 2008 Bali champion will collect $35,000.
