Czech Republic's third seed Barbora Strycova
will square off against Taiwan's Hsieh Su-wei in the first
quarter-final clash on Friday while Julia Goerges plays Polona
Hercog in the revised schedule.
Top seed Caroline Wozniacki meets American wild card entry Sofia
Kenin While fourth seed Agnieszka Radwasnka faces American
Sachia Vickery in the other quarter-final matches.
The semi-final matches have been scheduled for the evening but
if rain affects Friday's schedule, the organizers could schedule
the semi-finals and final on Saturday.
"We've done it before," tournament director Karl Budge was
quoted as saying by the New Zealand Herald (www.nzherald.co.nz).
"There's been times where three matches have been played on a
day as well. We've just got to hope the tennis gods start being
kind to us."
