Pliscova goes on to meet Barty in the quarterfinals, and says she expects a tough match against the player who ousted powerhouse Radwanska earlier in the day.

"I think tough. I saw little bit how she was playing today. I think she was playing very well...She's enjoying the tennis more. You could see on the court. She's having some good matches behind her, so it's going to be tough," Pliscova predicted.

Wang, for her part, said that the combined fatigue of taking out Sloane Stephens and playing again in a doubles match took a toll on her today.

"On the first day I was in my best form, but I played a doubles match after winning against Stephens, which made me tired," Wang said.

"Pliscova is a top 5 player, so I didn' t give myself too much pressure before the match. She played pretty well today, and it was a fast-paced match," Wang added.

Wang' s loss ends the hopes of home fans here at the Optics Valley Tennis center, with no Chinese entrants remaining in the running.

Gabrine Muguruza is also through to the quarterfinals with a three-set win over Polish qualifier Magda Linette, 6-2, 1-6, 6-4.

Muguruza displayed an aggressive backhand that allowed her to seize control of the first set, but the second was a much tenser affair as Linette adeptly moved around the court and answered her opponents shots.

"I think the second set I didn't play well. I did way too many mistakes. I was playing perfect for her. I think she increase her level. You know, she found a way to right away put her in control. That's what happened," Muguruza said after the match.
