“I’m not surprised that I could make it this far, because I always believe in myself,” Wozniacki, 26, said. Though she has been humbled, in terms of her ranking, by injury and inconsistent, uncertain play, Wozniacki said she still felt as if her peers continued to rate her highly. Keys, who had never faced Wozniacki, was struck by the pressure caused by her opponent’s talent and consistency. Sevastova, ranked 48th in the world, reached her first major quarterfinal with a 6-4, 7-5 victory against No. Vinci reached the quarterfinals with a 7-6 (5), 6-2 win over Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine.
