Ok, I do try to follow the WTA tour as religiously as I can, but this is the first time I've encountered the Czech player, Petra Cetkovska, who makes a surprise fourth round appearance! The Czech Republic has been producing some really good players these past few seasons and actually has two players in the fourth round, the other one being Petra Kvitova.
Cetkovska is currently ranked #81 (she's the third player ranked in the 80s that has reached the fourth round!) and she has some really remarkable scalps as she went through each round. She defeated Kristina Barrois of Germany (#75) in the first round, then shocked Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland (#11) in the second round, and then scalped a Grand Slam champion, Ana Ivanovic of Serbia (18) in the third round! In the fourth round, she will meet German Sabine Lisicki, herself ranked #62, so on paper, that should be a close match.
