Summary Stanislas Wawrinka reached Topshelf Open men's quarterfinals by beating Paolo Lorenzi 6-3, 7-6 (8).
ROSMALEN (AP) - Simona Halep continued her strong recent form to humble top-seeded Roberta Vinci 6-0, 6-1 on Wednesday and advance to the quarterfinals of the Topshelf Open grass court tournament.
Halep is looking to make it two titles in as many weeks after beating Andrea Petkovic 6-3, 6-3 to win the inaugural Nurnberger Versicherungscup on Saturday in Germany, the 21-year-old Romanian s first WTA title.
Halep, ranked 45 in the world, had few problems against the No. 11-ranked Vinci, completing the rout in just under an hour to set up a quarterfinal against Lesia Tsurenko.
Second-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka reached the men s quarterfinals by beating Paolo Lorenzi 6-3, 7-6 (8), giving himself more time to acclimatize to playing on grass in the week before Wimbledon.
The Italian never managed to seriously threaten Wawrinka s serve until the 12th game of the second set, when he broke the Swiss to force a tiebreak.
He then fought off three match points before finally succumbing 10-8 to the No. 10-ranked Wawrinka, who next plays Jeremy Chardy.
Second-seeded Dominika Cibulkova reached the women s last eight by coming from a set down to beat Anabel Medina Garrigues 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Earlier, the last two remaining Dutch players lost their second-round matches. Kirsten Flipkens beat Michaella Krajiceck in two hard-fought sets 7-6 (6), 7-6 (3), and Evgeny Donskoy overcame Robin Haase 6-4, 7-5.
Haase looked likely to force the match to a third set when he went 5-3 up in the second, but the Russian reeled off four straight games to book a quarterfinal match against Nicolas Mahut of France, who beat Andrey Kuznetsov 6-2, 6-4.
